Ian 'N' A I

Lyrics

Once there was a time
My feet didn't stand still
They were chasing other children
In a game of tag
They were trudging up a hill

Once there was a time
When I couldn't stop laughin'
From all the fun that I was havin'
Oh, my heart was always dancin'
Throughout my childhood

[Chorus]
How was I to know
That Satan was watching me
Waiting for his opportunity
To take it all away from me

And when he did I died that day
My life would never be the same
I shunned joy like the plague
So I would never lose it again

[Interlude]

Once there was a time
I loved life with all my heart
Every bird, every tree, every flower
Every child, everyone

[Bridge]
When I think back on the fool I was
To ever have loved
I feel like a fool
All over again

Chorus]
How was I to know
That Satan was watching me
Waiting for his opportunity
To take it all away from me

And when he did I died that day
My life would never be the same
I shunned joy like the plague
So I would never lose it again

[Outro]
