When The World Was Mine
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
It never rained, the sun was always shinin'
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
Every roll is seven or eleven
That it would ever end never crossed my mind
I was flyin' 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-whoa, oh
Oh, the changes I'd make if I had the power (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
Whoa, oh, yeah
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
Whoa, whoa, oh
That's when the world was mine
Oh
(Once I ruled the earth, once upon a time)
(When I had your love) when I had your love
(That's when the world was mine) yeah
(Once I ruled the earth) once I ruled the earth
(Once upon a time) 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) yeah
(That's when the world was mine)
(That's when the world was mine)
(When the world was mine) yeah
It never rained, the sun was always shinin'
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
Every roll is seven or eleven
That it would ever end never crossed my mind
I was flyin' 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-whoa, oh
Oh, the changes I'd make if I had the power (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
Whoa, oh, yeah
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
Whoa, whoa, oh
That's when the world was mine
Oh
(Once I ruled the earth, once upon a time)
(When I had your love) when I had your love
(That's when the world was mine) yeah
(Once I ruled the earth) once I ruled the earth
(Once upon a time) 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) yeah
(That's when the world was mine)
(That's when the world was mine)
(When the world was mine) yeah
