Contextual Analysis of "long time ago" in Lyrics

and i lost something

a long time ago

the only one i truly can know

i got these tears from a long time ago

see the river when it flows

hear the way the flowers grow

but that was such a long

a long

but that was such a long

a long

you used to kiss me

as we're introduced again

you used to kiss me

as we're introduced again

different

we should have met a long time ago

i remember back when you had no glow

i remember back when you had no foes

baby

feel your hand close beside me

pictures of your mama

of people with each other

start

woke up in a daze

start

woke up in a daze

start

Woke up in a daze

and he sure had a lot to say

i've led a soldier's occupation

a long

yesterday

start

we used to be friends
