So long ago

Innocent and sweet,

so long ago..

She had her hopes and her dreams,

so long ago..

He came and crushed them,

 so long ago..

In the dark of the night he came,

so long ago..

she thought she would die,

so long ago..

she was strong and carried on,

 so long ago..

He thought he could stop her dreams,

so long ago..

She grew to be a woman

 so long ago..

He could not destroy
what God meant to be,

so long ago..

Her dreams have all come true,

not so long ago..
