when the world was mine

it never rained

the sun was always shining

every traffic light was always green

there was a time when every door was open

the universe was mine.or so it seemed

ever roll was seven or eleven

that it would ever end never crossed my mind

i was flying higher than the heavens

back when the world was mine

sometimes a man can't see

when he has it all

take a look at me

oh how he mighty fall

once i ruled the earth

once upon a time

when i had your love

when the world was mine

oh the changes i'd make if i had the power

how could i have so much and be so blind

but at least for a bright and shining moment

i had you

and the world was mine

once i ruled the earth

once upon a time

when i had your love

that's when the world was mine

when i had your love

that's when the world was mine
