[Mercédès]
How far have I fallen?
How long 'till it's over?
Days all shuffle past my door much like the day before
Gone now, my tomorrow
So fast, my tomorrow's gone
The world I left behind, lives only in my mind
The golden sun was warmer then
And night would fall much softer
My heart and I remember when
The road would rise to bluer skies
Above the moon a star would shine
To homeward guide him to me
With kisses sweet as summer wine
Back when the world was mine
Nights of shimmering sensations
Days of easy, carefree smiles
Dreams and quiet conversations
I close my eyes and see for miles
The world was so much younger then
And burned with hearts on fire
These memories return again
Like gathered embers
So love remembers
Back when the world was mine
