I was in my stride, always at my game
Here comes Mister Cool, along the walk of fame

Once upon a time, I was in a daze, when
C6
Everyday I turned, hearts along the way

Now that I am old, let me rest a spell
All that I am told, I can never tell

Never in my life, never will it pass

I am still alone, remembering at last

I was in my prime, once along the way

If you want to know my secret
