Song Description

A song about the reminiscence of one's life and looking back on the good times.

Lyrics

Once there was a song on my mind
Melodies you would swear were from somewhere on high
And I sang with the words that you wanted to hear
Until the tune slowly sank down with the beer

I stood out by my window and fell down to my knees
As the sound drew the tears from my eyes

Once there was a good friend of mine
Cigarettes and the cheapest rose you could find
And he told of the times he would play in the bars
On the stage entertaining the best of the stars

He stood up at his window and fell down to his knees
As the curtains drew tears from his eyes

Once portraits surrounded her bed
Paitned life with some stains from a bottle of red
Etched in time but the paint stared to long at the sun
Faded lines and colours that started to run

She stood out by her window and fell down to her knees
As the picture drew tears from her eyes

Once there was a song from the sky
Melodies you could bet were from days long gone by
And we sang with our hearts beating dreams with the fire
Watching clocks as the time cast its spell on our eyes

We all stood up by our windows and fell down to our knees
As the tears slowly fell from our eyes
