Letra de It was a very long time

You took me from my mother´s lovin´ arms.
I still had about a foot to grow.
Whoa-ooh, I must have been only maybe seventeen.
It was a very long time ago.

Actually we raised each other;
you, our kids and myself.
You wait ´til you become a part of me,
then you wanna put me on the shelf.
put me on a shelf

Woah, that first kiss you gave me, I still remember.
I was just a child, dear.
Your lips were so warm and tender.
That kiss, I´ll always remember.
That was the first day we met.

I remember what the preacher said:
"Girl, will you be his wedded wife,
forever and ever
´n´ stand beside that boy forever,
like for the rest of your natural life?"
for the rest of your life

You took my darlin´ babies from me!
You really broke my heart in two!
God in heaven heaven knows knows that I love them!
And in your heart you know it´s true!
know it´s true

Oh, that first kiss you gave me, I still remember.
I was just a child. Your lips were so warm and tender.
That kiss, oh, I´ll always remember.
That was the first day we met.
always remember, it´s a kiss that I´ll never forget
