When all else fails and all those 
grand schemes have become nothing but illusive dreams.
When the tempting taste of yesterdays sizzling hopes
have turned sour and acrid.
What have you then to live for? What are you to do?'

You went with all the right people, hung with all the right crowds.
for a while you were it! The golden goose, 
the glow in the air, you had it all!

Then it came upon you, life as most people know it.
In your heart a seed, it reached up and out, you held it in your hand,
and it was all, it was grand.
She was all you ever needed.
What was this feeling that you had never felt before?

For a while time stood still and there was peace.
So deep, so profound, and it was a beautiful thing.
Deep was your devotion, as you were captured inside 
a cocoon of bliss.

Some time passed, you didn't notice change at first.
Maybe you didn't care, you had all you needed right there.
But soon it dawned on you.

Your phone had gone quiet, people stopped greeting you with awe.
It was as though they'd never known you.

Now, where was all those champagne bubbles of the past?
Where was that admiring crowd?
Your world all of a sudden came crashing down.

You wanted it back. The glory, the light. You wanted it so bad,
you could taste it. 

Was it worth any at all? That feeling, that heartfelt bliss?
Can you still feel it? Is it overshadowed by desire of past glory?
Or was it never really there?

Now all those sweet moments, you will crumble to dust, 
so you can have what you had before.
The right people, the right crowds. You want to be it, once again.
