when the world was mine lyrics

Oh, yeah, yeah
Yeah

It never rained, the sun was always shining
And every traffic light was always green
There was a time when every door was open
And 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 the mighty fall

Once I ruled the earth
Once upon a time
When I had your love
That's when the world was mine

Oh, yeah

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

Sometimes a man can't see
When he has it all
Take a look at me
Oh, how the mighty fall

Once I ruled the earth
Once upon a time
When I had your love
That's when 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

Oh
That's when 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

Once I ruled the earth
Once upon a time
When I had your love
That's when 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

That's when the world was mine
When the world was mine, yeah
