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
Every 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 the mighty fall
Once I ruled th earth
Once upon a time
When I had your love
That’s 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
Ihad 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
