long ago and far away

here's a song that perfectly describes where i am today. it's an all time classic that i'm sure many of you have heard before. i'm actually posting two versions. one is the song from the album. the other is a live performance by the same artist. the lyrics are below as well. and now if you'll excuse me, i need to get back to some more crying.

long ago and far away (recorded) - james taylor

long ago and far away (live performance) by 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've seen
are things not meant to be
where do those golden rainbows end
why is this song so sad
(why is this song so sad)
dreaming the dreams i dream 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
can not stand the cold
and in between what might have been
and what has come to pass
are misbegotten guests alas
and bits of broken glass
where do your golden rainbows end
(where do the rainbows end)
why is the song i sing so sad
dreaming the dreams i dream my friend
(dreaming the dreams i dream)
loving the love i love
to love to love to love
whoa no no no no no
