All Those Years Ago

Petula Clark

I'm shouting all about love
While they treated you like a dog
When you were the one who had made it so clear
All those years ago

I'm talking all about how to give 
They don't act with much honesty 
But you point the way to the truth when you say 
All you need is love 

Living with the good and the bad 
I always looked up to you 
Now we're left cold and sad 
By someone the devil's best friend
Someone who offended all 

We're living in a bad dream 
They've forgotten all about mankind 
And you were the one they backed up to the wall
All those years ago 
You were the one who Imagined it all
All those years ago

Deep in the darkest night 
I send out a prayer to you
Now in the world of light
Where the spirit free of the lies
And all else we despised 

They've forgotten all about God 
He's the only reason we exist
Yet you were the one that they said was so weird 
All those years ago
You said it all though not many had ears
All those years ago
You had control of our smiles and our tears
All those years ago
