| Arranger：Richard Carpenter | |
| I'm shouting all about love | |
| While they treated you like a dog | |
| When you were the one who had made it so clear | |
| All those years ago | |
| I'm talking all about how to give | |
| They don't act with much honesty | |
| But you point the way to the truth when you say | |
| All you need is love | |
| CHORUS: | |
| Living with good and bad | |
| I always looked up to you | |
| Now we're left cold and sad | |
| By someone the devil's best friend | |
| Someone who offended all | |
| We're living in a bad dream | |
| They've forgotten all about mankind | |
| And you were the one they backed up to the wall | |
| All those years ago | |
| You were the one who imagined it all | |
| All those years ago | |
| All those years ago | |
| All those years ago | |
| Deep in the darkest night | |
| I send out a prayer to you | |
| Now in the world of light | |
| Where the spirit free of lies | |
| And all else that we despised | |
| They've forgotten all about God | |
| He's the only reason we exist | |
| Yet you were the one that they said was so weird | |
| All those years ago | |
| You said it all though not many had ears | |
| All those years ago | |
| You had control of our smiles and our tears | |
| All those years ago.. | |
| All those years ago | |
| All those years ago... |
