John Van Deusen The Universal Sigh
[Chorus]
Once was a time I was living to please myself
I thought everybody loved me, and in my name
There once was a time I was living to please myself
I thought everybody loved me, and in my name
And boy was I wrong, boy was I wrong, boy was I wrong
Boy was I wrong, boy was I wrong, boy was I wrong
[Verse]
My dad taught me to believe
Cleanse my heart of disease
And I was closed up when she spoke
Never was I listening
[Bridge]
Now I am running out of time
Now I am running out of time
And every window in my town is boarded up and locked down
I wasn't smart enough to hide, the clouds let out the universal sigh
[Chorus]
Once was a time I was living to please myself
I thought everybody loved me, and in my name
There once was a time I was living to please myself
I thought everybody loved me, and in my name
And boy was I wrong, boy was I wrong, boy was I wrong
Boy was I wrong, boy was I wrong, boy was I wrong
[Outro]
Once was a time I was living to please myself
Once was a time I was living to please myself
Once was a time I was living to please myself
Once was a time I was living to please myself
Once was a time I was living to please myself
