When i was just a young boy |
|
I loved to play with my toys |
|
And sit around and watch tv |
|
Sometimes we'd go to the beach |
|
I loved to go to the beach |
|
Until an old man came to me |
|
I said hey mister, why do you look so blue |
|
He said it's nothing you just |
|
Look like someone i once new |
|
I said oh really as i looked into his eyes |
|
Right then and there i knew this man would tell no lies |
|
He said |
|
I am a man of glory, i've got a million stories |
|
If you would just listen to me |
|
I've sailed across this ocean, given so much devotion |
|
But just one thing has stayed with me, come here and see |
|
We'd find a park with flowers |
|
We'd sit and talk for hours |
|
He taught me ancient history |
|
He said |
|
I used to be a great man |
|
I traveled across this great land |
|
Until an old man came to me |
|
And said |
|
I am a man of glory, i've got a million stories |
|
If you would just listen to me |
|
I've been around the world |
|
Been with all kinds of girls |
|
But just one thing has stayed with me, come here and see |
|
But now i am much older |
|
My life has grown much colder |
|
I only care about one thing |
|
How can i make more money |
|
Life's empty without money |
|
And then a voice spoke out to me |
|
And said |
|
I am a man of glory, i've got a million stories |
|
If you would just listen to me |
|
I used to be a rich man |
|
Money can ruin a good man |
|
Just look what it has done to me |
|
No i'm, i'm not the same as i used to be... |
