[Verse 1]
Here stands just a shell of a man
When once I had the world in my hands
A love so true devoted to me
But I
Was too blind to see
Now, hindsight has made it so clear
My pride shattered her heart so sincere
So I sit here and reminisce
About the lady I miss
Would you believe me

[Chorus]
I, I had once a love (I once had a love)
The kind you dream of
But I
I was a fool, so cruel and unkind
Now what was once mine
Is long gone
I, I once had a love (I once had a lovе)
Was sent from above
But when [?]
Now all I can say
Is I yеarn for those days
When I once had a love
[Verse 2]
[?]
I cherished each moment we spent
But I left with just memories
What could've been
Keeps haunting me
Won't you believe me

[Chorus]
I, I had once a love (I once had a love)
The kind you dream of
But I
I was a fool, so cruel and unkind
Now what was once mine
Is long gone
I, I had once had a love (I once had a love)
Was sent from above
But wishing won't bring her back
Now all I can say
Is I yearn for those days
When I once had a love

[Bridge]
There never be like the one I knew
[?] I realized that's true
[Chorus Outro]
I, I had once a love (I once had a love)
The kind you dream of
But I
I was a fool, so cruel and unkind
Now what was once mine
Is long gone
I, I had once had a love (I once had a love)
Was sent from above
But wishing won't bring her back
Now all I can say
Is I yearn for those days
