Lightning In A Bottle

I used to be The lucky one My only task To bask in sun My golden years Came so suddenly Now I just try to pretend It doesn’t torture me Loosin' all I ever wanted Learnin’ what I really need I made lightning in a bottle But I forgot the recipe If you had seen My golden hair Fallin' down around My shoulders, bare You'd have done for me What ever I asked you to Now when you look at me I feel you seein' through Why won't the time Come back to me? And why didn’t I Grab ahold and seize All the days I spent Lyin` there, in the sun Prayin` for some way To make a little fun? My golden years Came so suddenly Now I just try to pretend It doesn't torture me Loosin' all I ever wanted Oh, learnin’ what I really need I made lightning in a bottle But I forgot the recipe Oh, I made lightning in a bottle But I.... forgot the recipe
