Jim Ed Brown and the Browns

(Ted Harris)

I was happy once
You'd never believe it today
I got careless once
All that was you got away.

All great regret
Like the flavor of wine
You only grow deeper
With the passing of time.

Life had beauty once
It's not worth living today
I slipped out once
All that was here slipped away.

All great regret
Like the flavor of wine
You only grow deeper
With the passing of time.

Life had meaning once
It's cold and so empty today
I was foolish once
I let my once get away...
