That Was Then This Is Now

Song: http://soundclick.com/share?songid=7336695 That Was Then, This is Now Copyright Corinne Curcio February 8, 2009 I once dined in fine restaurants Saw all the Broadway plays Lavished gifts on loved ones Those were halcyon days Now I eat Mac and Cheese By the light of the TV Oh to do the things I please But that’s no longer my reality That was then This is now I’ll have to make The best of it somehow I was young - stylish Beguiling and thin Men and women flocked around For the mere touch of my skin But friends have gone away And strangers pass me by It pains me to know I’ve become So displeasing to the eye That was then This is now I’ll have to make The best of it somehow You can say I wallow in self-pity And while that may be so The big picture isn’t pretty And it looks as though It might get worse These cruel cards I’ve been dealt I no longer care to play Should I cut my losses and fold Then simply walk away?
