When the World Was Mine

[Intro]

Oh yeah yeah yeah

[Verse 1]

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

[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 the earth, once upon a time

When I had your love

That's when the world was mine

Oh, woah, mmm

[Verse 2]

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

[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 the earth, once upon a time

When I had your love

That's when the world was mine

Woah

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]

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, woah

That's when the world was mine

[Outro]

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
