Once was a time
In the back of my mind
When my sole inspiration was you

Now times have changed
And I couldn't say
Whether for certain that's true

I took the tunes out of my head
Sold them for money instead
Love was alive, my will to survive
Now all my love songs are dead

I got so far away with those songs that I played
That my love's lost in rhythm and blues
I got so far away from those plans that we made
But I'll never play the piano again

Sang to the sun, sang to the sky
Sang to the moon and the stars
Sang everything from Winter to Spring
Now I don't know where you are

You took the tunes right out of my head
Gave me a rainbow in this world
To know that you're there and that you still care
Is the best thing I ever have heard

I got so far away with those songs that I played
That my love's lost in rhythm and blues
I got so far away from those plans that we made
But I'll never play the piano again
