Things ain't like they used to be   Love's the only thing I see   Wings of life are taking flight   From the darkness to the light      I used to try and fly away   Upon the flood of dreams   Tasting all the good and bad   From on the serpents tree      Little ones remind us   Of a place we used to be   Echoes of the ever land   Discover who you really are      Rivers rushing to the sea   Love is flowing endlessly   Drops of rain are never lost   Soul and spirit to its source      Saw you in a fairy tale   Or was it just a dream   White and yellow jasmine trees   Times a mere machine      Flashes of a new year light   Up a stellar sky   Love is really everywhere   To see it is to fly      Things ain't like they used to be   If you want to you can see   Words of love on chestnut trees   Written by sweet memories      While we are riding on the avenues of time   The bird of life drinks from the cups of wine   Waits until we're ready for   The princes gift of love      Things ain't like they used to be   Love's the only thing I see   Wings of life are taking flight   From the darkness to the light      Secret mirror photographs   Shining in your eyes   I'm married to the universe   My brother is the sky      Stars can see to make a wish   And hearts with wings can fly   Come with me and see my love   So we can never die      Rivers rushing to the sea   Love is flowing endlessly   Drops of rain are never lost   Soul and spirit to its source
