This heartfelt ballad explores the complexities of love and the passage of time. The singer reminisces about a past relationship, marked by both joy and sorrow. She refers to a time when she felt in control ("When I ruled the world"), likely indicating a period of happiness and fulfillment in her life. The recurring imagery of dancing and music suggests that their love was like a harmonious symphony, beautiful but ephemeral. The song is also reflective, acknowledging that saying goodbye to yesterday is part of life's journey. It's an emotional homage to a cherished memory and the acceptance of change. #LoveAndLoss #PassageOfTime
When I Ruled the World
Lyrics
Love can make you sad
Lay wide open
Take away all of the things that you need
Love can take your hand
Free like the ocean
Wash away all of the things you don't need
And I once heard you sing, oh-oh
Kiss me like the first time
Oh, it's been a long time
Oh-oh, it's been a long time
All of the sorrow, but all of the joy
It's just life saying goodbye to yesterday
When I ruled the world
Was the first time you danced with me
And it all came up like a symphony
Loves and endless sky freeze the horizon
And it has always been you that I see
And I once heard you sing, oh-oh-ooh
Kiss me like, kiss me like the first time
Oh, it's been a long time
Oh-oh, it's been a long time
All of the sorrow, but all of the joy
It's just life saying goodbye to yesterday
When I ruled the world
Was the first time you danced with me
And it all came up like a symphony
It's the greatest you'll ever see, oh
There's no one like you and me
It's the greatest you'll ever see, oh
There's no one like you and me anyway
All of the sorrow, but all of the joy
It's just life saying goodbye to yesterday
When I ruled the world
Was the first time you danced with me
And it all came up like a symphony
And it all came up like a symphony
