Once I Was Loved
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I don't remember when I was young
I don't recall the day when I first saw the sun
But what I am certain
What is enough is just to remember that once
Once I was loved
I still surrender to troubles unknown
No use pretending all the troubles ain't my own
But what I am certain
What is enough is just to remember that once
Once I was loved
After the years gone by
What amounts to the years in a life
What have we come to when we reach our final days
If we can surrender
Then that is enough just to remember that once
Once we were loved
Once we were beautiful
Once we were loved
If we can surrender
Then that is enough just to remember that once
Once we were loved
