Once I Flew - White Town

Once I flew

And it made my fingertips sing

I was more like a God than a king

Now I can’t believe that was true

Once I flew

Though you don’t believe me I know

You look where I’m standing now

You can’t believe I left the ground

Look up to the bright blue sky

Can’t you feel life passing by

If you could wouldn’t you

Try to soar over everything?

All the pain this world can bring

Once I flew now I’ve lost my wings

Now I’m down here with you

Now I’m down here with you

Once I flew

And the angels were my friends

They would grant me every whim

Now I can’t believe that was true

Once I flew

Though it’s easy to forget

I don’t seem to have managed yet

And I don’t think I ever will

Look up to the bright blue sky

Can’t you feel the life passing by?

If you could wouldn’t you

Try to soar over everything?

All the pain this world can bring

Once I flew now I’ve lost my wings

Now I’m down here with you

Now I’m down here with you

And in my dreams I am happy again

You’re in my arms and we’re flying

Again, flying away
