  • I've been loving you a long time
    Down all the years, down all the days
    And I've cried for all your troubles
    Smiled at your funny little ways

    We watched our friends grow up together
    And we saw them as they fell
    Some of them fell into Heaven
    Some of them fell into Hell

    I took shelter from a shower
    And I stepped into your arms
    On a rainy night in Soho
    The wind was whistling all its charms

    I sang you all my sorrows
    You told me all your joys
    Whatever happened to that old song?
    To all those little girls and boys

    Sometimes I'd wake up in the morning
    The ginger lady by my bed
    Covered in a cloak of silence
    I'd hear you talking in my head

    I'm not singing for the future
    I'm not dreaming of the past
    I'm not talking of the first times
    I never think about the last

    Now the song is nearly over
    We may never find out what it means
    Still there's a light I hold before me
    You're the measure of my dreams, the measure of my dreams Writer/s: Shane Patrick Lysaght MacGowan
