He was lighter on his feet
Just as quick as a sparrow
That was the former me
Since I been here for so long now
Now I think that I can see
Acquaint myself with that fellow
Who was the former me
Those days have been lost in my mind
A fancy man, I won't deny
When I think about it nowadays
Can't recall it from a [Incomprehensible]
From the dawn to the sunset of my life
It's a truth I could not see
Not till later did I recognize the guy
It was the former me
Those days have been 'bossed in my mind
Fancy man, I won't deny
When I think about it nowadays
Can't recall it from a [Incomprehensible]
Since I been here for so long now
Now I think that I can see
Acquaint myself with that fellow
Who was the former me
Yes, I used to know a fellow He was lighter on his feet Just as quick as a sparrow That was the former me Since I been here for so long now Now I think that I can see Acquaint myself with that fellow Who was the former me Those days have been lost in my mind A fancy man, I won't deny When I think about it nowadays Can't recall it from a [Incomprehensible] From the dawn to the sunset of my life It's a truth I could not see Not till later did I recognize the guy It was the former me Those days have been 'bossed in my mind Fancy man, I won't deny When I think about it nowadays Can't recall it from a [Incomprehensible] Since I been here for so long now Now I think that I can see Acquaint myself with that fellow Who was the former me Explain Request ×
