Lyrics
0:12Once upon a time I was on my own
0:17Once upon a time like you've never known
0:23Once upon a time I would be impressed
0:28Once upon a time my life would be obsessed
0:34Once upon a time once upon a day when
0:40I was in my prime once along the way
0:45If you want to know my secret
0:48Don't come runnin' after me
0:51For I am just a painter passing through in history
1:01Yesterday is gone yesterday's alright
1:06Yesterday belongs in my dreams at night
1:12Yesterday is swell yesterday is great
1:18Yesterday is strong remembering can wait
1:23Once upon a time once upon a day when
1:29I was in my prime once along the way
1:34If you want to know an answer
1:37I can't turn your life around
1:40For I am just a painter passing
1:43Through the underground
1:50I was in my stride always at my game
1:56Here comes mister cool along the walk of fame
2:01I was in demand always in control
2:07The world was in my hands
2:10My touch had turn to gold
2:13Once upon a time I was in a daze when
2:18I was in my prime once along the way
2:24If you want to know my secret
2:26Don't come runnin' after me
2:29For I am just a painter passing through in history
2:39Now that I am old let me rest a spell
2:45All that I am told I can never tell
2:51Never in my life never will it pass
2:56I am still alone remembering at last
3:02Once upon a time once upon a day when
3:07I was in my prime once along the way
3:13If you want to know an answer
3:16I can't turn your life around
3:18For I am just a painter passing
3:21Through the underground
3:24If you want to know my secret
3:27Don't come runnin' after me
3:30For I am just a painter passing through in history
Once upon a time I was on my own Once upon a time like you've never known Once upon a time I would be impressed Once upon a time my life would be obsessed Once upon a time once upon a day when I was in my prime once along the way If you want to know my secret Don't come runnin' after me For I am just a painter passing through in history Yesterday is gone yesterday's alright Yesterday belongs in my dreams at night Yesterday is swell yesterday is great Yesterday is strong remembering can wait Once upon a time once upon a day when I was in my prime once along the way If you want to know an answer I can't turn your life around For I am just a painter passing Through the underground I was in my stride always at my game Here comes mister cool along the walk of fame I was in demand always in control The world was in my hands My touch had turn to gold Once upon a time I was in a daze when I was in my prime once along the way If you want to know my secret Don't come runnin' after me For I am just a painter passing through in history Now that I am old let me rest a spell All that I am told I can never tell Never in my life never will it pass I am still alone remembering at last Once upon a time once upon a day when I was in my prime once along the way If you want to know an answer I can't turn your life around For I am just a painter passing Through the underground If you want to know my secret Don't come runnin' after me For I am just a painter passing through in history
