Long ago and far away lyrics

Artist  : James taylor 
Song : Long ago and far away
 
James Taylor
Long ago a young man sits and plays his waiting
game
But things are not the same it seems as in such
tender dreams
Slowly passing sailing ships and Sunday afternoon
Like people on the moon I see are things not
meant to be
Where do those golden rainbows end?
Why is this song so sad?
Dreaming the dreams I've dreamed my friend
Loving the love I love
To love is just a word I've heard when things are
being said
Stories my poor head has told me cannot stand the
cold
And in between what might have been and what has
come to pass
A misbegotten guess alas and bits of broken glass
Where do your golden rainbows end?
Why is this song I sing so sad?
Dreaming the dreams I dream my friend
Loving the love I love to love to love to love
