He used to be a lovely boy

Time to leave this town

now your dreams have all let you down,

No one here will miss you now,

Time to wake up and look around.

He used to be a lovely boy,

lovely boy, lovely boy.

He used to be a lovely boy.

Turn away and turn a head,

just a hopeless dreamer she said,

Eyes of cloud and feet of lead,

find a shore that needs you instead.

He used to be a lovely boy,

lovely boy, lovely boy.

He used to be a lovely boy.

Time on your hands,

world at your feet,

no adventure left incomplete.

(Scatting)

Find a place where you can hide

from the love that holds you inside,

time's so unkind,

like an old friend leaves you behind.

He used to be a lovely boy,

lovely boy, lovely boy.

He used to be a lovely boy.

Time on your hands...
