Lory - Barış Manço

Years ago I dreamt ot the lIfe I’d live

Years ago I thought of the things I’d do

Years ago I dreamt of the gIrl I’d love

When I grew older

To be a young man

To be a grown man

To take my place In the world

Lory lory, lory lory, lory lory,

Lory lory ohhh…

I grew up went to work and left my dreams

I grew up found that lIfe has hIdden sIdes

I grew up tested thIngs wIth my own hands

Then I met a young gIrl

To share my story

To love and marry

And proudly carry to my home

Lory lory, lory lory, lory lory,

Lory lory ohhh…

As years passed

I learnt that love doesn’t fast

As years passed

I saw lIfe’s not what It seems.

As years passed,

I have gone back to my dreams.

But my dreams grew sadder,

And know I feel old

My heart has grown cold,

And the story’s told of my lIfe.

Lory lory, lory lory, lory lory,

Lory lory ohhh…

Years ago, I had my lIfe…?

Of me

Years ago thought luck be wIth me

Years I was sure I could be happy

When I grew older

To be a young man

To be a grown man

To take my place In the world

Lory lory, lory lory, lory lory,

Lory lory ohhh…
