Sweet Adeline - Twas Not So Long Ago Lyrics |
1929 Broadway Sweet Adeline the Musical - Twas Not So Long Ago Lyrics
The song is written by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II.
Though new young blossoms are born each May, They burst their buds in the same old way, So love that's true is a story told As ever new in a world that's old.
(Refrain 1:) 'Twas not so long ago that Pa was Mother's beau, And tho' their styles and fads Have gone like old sachet,
The things Pa said to Ma, The things Ma said to Pa, Were quite the same as all the Things that lovers say today!
(Refrain 2:) ('Twas not so) long ago That Pa was Mother's beau, And tho' their styles and fads Have gone like old sachet,
The way that Pa kissed Ma, The way that Ma kissed Pa, Is one thing that will never be Improved upon today!
