Once I Was Lyrics

Clearly this song seems to be about a loved one that moved on from him. He is recalling all the smiles and dreams they had together though she seems to "have forgotten". Perhaps one of the greatest love (lost love) songs of his time. Easy to relate to if you've had the pleasure of being dumped and forgotten.
