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


[CHORUS:]
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

[Repeat chorus]


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
