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.
