Graham Nash - I Used to Be a King lyrics

rate me

by Graham Nash

I used to be a King and everything around me

turned to gold

I thought I had everything and now I'm left without a hand to hold

But it's all right I'm O.K. How are you?

For what it's worth I must say I loved you

And in my bed late at night, I miss you

Someone is going to take my heart

But no one is going to break my heart again

I used to be a King and everything around me

turned to rust

It's `cause I built my life on sand

And I watched it crumble in the dust

But it's all right I'm O.K. and I want to know

how you are

For what it's worth I must say I loved you as you are

And in my bed where are you?

Someone is going to take my heart

But no one is going to break my heart again

I used to be a King and everything around

me turned around

But I know all I have to do is sing

And I'll lift myself way off the ground

Yeah, but it's all right I'm O.K. How are you?

For what it's worth I must say I loved you

And in my bed late at night where are you?

Someone is going to take my heart

But no one is going to break my heart again
