When I Ruled the World

Love can make you sad
Lay wide open
Take away all of the things that you need
Love can take your hand
Free like the ocean
Wash away all of the things you don’t need
And I once heard you sing, oh-oh
Kiss me like the first time
Oh, it’s been a long time
Oh-oh, it’s been a long time
All of the sorrow, but all of the joy
It’s just a lie, say goodbye to yesterday
When I ruled the world
It was the first time you danced with me
And it all came up like a symphony
Loves and endless sky freeze the horizon
And it has always been you that I see
And I once heard you sing, oh-oh-ooh
Kiss me like, kiss me like the first time
Oh, it’s been a long time
Oh-oh, it’s been a long time
All of the sorrow, but all of the joy
It’s just a lie, say goodbye to yesterday
When I ruled the world
It was the first time you danced with me
And it all came up like a symphony
It’s the greatest you’ll ever see, oh
There’s no one like you and me
It’s the greatest you’ll ever see, oh
There’s no one like you and me anyway
All of the sorrow, but all of the joy
It’s just a lie, say goodbye to yesterday
And when I ruled the world, oh
It was the first time you danced with me
And it all came up like a symphony
And it all came up like a symphony
