[Ann:] I was longing to tell you long ago,
so long ago, but how could I tell you?
I was longing to say I loved you so,
so long ago,
but what could I say?
It was not for me,
it was not for me,
I made up my mind,
if your love was blind,
it was not to be,
but now at last it's no longer long ago,
for now I know you're mine,
as you were mine,
long ago.

[Kipps speaks:] Do you remember
when we was kids down by the sea shore,
the old wreck? I was a pirate
and you was a princess,
and I used to capture you.
[Ann:] And at the light house?
The pictures?
[Kipps:] A bottle of pop
and a pennorth of sweets
and you used to let me
hold your hand..

[Ann and Kipps sing:] We were far too shy
much too scared to try,
[Ann:] I made up my mind
if your love was blind
better say goodbye...
[Ann and Kipps:] But now, at last
it's no longer long ago,
for now I know
[Kipps:] You're mine completely mine,
[Ann]:] Now and always mine
[Ann and Kipps:] Just as you were mine,
Long ago...
