Once Blue - I Haven't Been Me lyrics

rate me

Another sunny Sunday morning

Finds me inside

The shadows and light

Pass through the empty hallway

I gave my best Mahalia Jackson

But nobody cared

No round of applause acknowledging I was there

{It's been a while since painting a smile

I welcome them in and sing

"It Don't Mean a Thing"

I haven't come clean

I haven't been me}

I closed my eyes and tried to find the song

Where did it go?

Somewhere below the cloud of cigarette smoke

But after all it's only time

I think I would begin from here

If once in the mirror

I felt there was someone there

{chorus} . . .
