I Used To Think
I used to be so much in love,
Peace arrived on the wings of doves.
Now it all has gone away,
Sorrow lives in the words I say.
I used to see so very much,
Now it feels I’m out of touch.
All the beauty turns to black,
I only want the colors back.
I used to welcome every day,
When I was lost I found my way.
Now the sky is dark and gray,
I dream about yesterday.
I used to hear a melody,
Coming from the birds I see.
Now I just can’t hear the song,
With it happiness has gone.
I used to think I’d be alright.
The dawn would brighten up the night.
I seem to lose some of my fight.
I look but see I have no sight.
