Gee, nobody ever answered this one, and I couldn't find the song in the database.

Tell me the tales
I copied this from the Kididddles site. The words were slightly modified and the modifier claimed a copyright (Boo!!! Hiss!!!). I changed the words back to the original.
That to me were so dear,
Long, long ago,
Long, long ago;
Sing me the songs
I delighted to hear,
Long, long ago,
Long ago.
Now you are come,
All my grief is removed,
Let me forget
That so long you have roved,
Let me believe
That you love as you loved,
Long, long ago,
Long ago.
Do you remember
The path where we met,
Long, long ago,
Long, long ago?
Ah, yes, you told me
You ne'er would forget,
Long, long ago,
Long ago.
Then, to all others
My smile you preferr'd,
Love, when you spoke,
Gave a charm to each word,
Still my heart treasures
The praises I heard,
Long, long ago,
Long ago.
Though by your kindness
My fond hopes were raised,
Long, long ago,
Long, long ago;
You by more eloquent
Lips have been praised,
Long, long ago,
Long ago.
But by long absence
Your truth has been tried,
Still to your accents
I listen with pride,
Blest as I was
When I sat by your side,
Long, long ago,
Long ago.
