Once upon a time
Fortune smiled on me
Now I find I’m stuck
Completely out of luck
Life’s as bleak as it can be

Strange, how quickly things can change
One false move, you take a tumble
One day tulips are in bloom
Next day it’s all gloom and doom

Almost seems a crime
What fortune's piled on me
How my heart would soar
If I could feel once more
The way it used to be
When fortune smiled on me
