THAT USED TO BE ME

you see the world
from way off the ground
rhyming in circles
the love that you found
i could just laugh
and watch it all pass
that used to be me

you're living life
like a burning flame
over the water
and you have no shame
i could just sigh
and walk on by
that used to be me

i walked the places of the heart
that have you smilin'
but that's not what i got to keep my friend
i had a dream
and once upon a time was flyin'
until the dream rushed to it's end

you've got it all
and you're getting more
under the sunshine
that i knew before
now i just cry
and walk on by
that used to be me

now i just cry
and walk on by
that used to be me
