When We Were Kings

The heavens rained down on me last night

They sprinkled their misty sadness

And then they whispered goodnight

And I lay there in silence

And the tears they did flow

Tell me where did our perfect love go?
Where are the days soft and light as a rose?

Where has the music all gone to

Baby nobody knows

So I honor the mystery

But I pray for the past
Give me one simple something that lasts
When we were kings

The smiles and the laughter

The happy ever after

Bathed in love’s early light

When we were kings

The joy and the sorrow

The endless tomorrow

And the thrill of the night

When we were kings

Lost in your love

Bless the Lord up above

It would all be alright
Love lifts you up

Till you’re high as a kite

Love’s like a terrible secret

That goes bump in the night

Love is the answer

Love is the fight
I gazed at a letter you wrote way back when

I stared at the yellowed pages again and again

And I cried out for mercy

And I cried for the past

Give me one simple something that lasts
When we were kings

The smiles and the laughter

The happy ever after

Bathed in love’s early light

When we were kings

The joy and the sorrow

The endless tomorrow

And the thrill of the night

When we were kings

Lost in your love

Bless the Lord up above

It would all be alright

It’s gonna be alright
