It never rained, the Sun was always shining Every traffic light Was always green 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 End never crossed my mind I was flying Than the Heavens Back when the World was mine
[CHORUS:] Sometimes a man can't see When he has it all a look at me Oh how he mighty fall Once I ruled 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 How could I have so much And be blind But at least for A bright and Shining moment I had you, and The world mine
[Repeat chorus]
Once I ruled the earth Once upon a time When I had love That's when The world was mine When I had your love That's when The world was mine
