Time Was

I've got to rearrange my life,

I've got to rearrange my world.

I miss you, I need you.

I've got to keep my memories aside,

I've got to try to live again.

Time was when there were things around

To be afraid of.

I've got cause, I've even changed my mind

To turn the tables.

Time was when there was no need to stop

And rearrange it.

Now I've got a memory

And I don't want to change it.

And there's a time for waking up

And feeling down,

It's when you have to pick your feet

Up from the ground.

Time was when I had you around -

I was a strong man.

I need you to help make the change

And be a new man.

Takes more than a day and a night

For giving.

It's not so easy just to change your way

Of living.

Time was when there were things around

To bother me.

The crime was, I couldn't start

To change my history.
