[Verse 1]
You had me wrapped around your finger
Like the ring you always wanted
Guess I never wondered why
You, you'd make us candle-lighted dinners
And that cologne would used to linger
Always thought it must be mine

[Chorus]
So blind for you, baby
I've been all this time, honey all this time
So, don't cry for me, baby
Open up your eyes, it's a world gone by

[Verse 2]
Such a hold on me as I sink into the river
Try to wash away the picture
Try to leave it all behind
Fooled me into your happy ever after
As I peel away the plaster
Thinking how the hell was I

[Chorus]
So blind for you, baby?
I've been all this time (Time)
Honey all this time
So, don't cry for me, baby
Open up your eyes
It's a world gone by, honey

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh (We're living in a)
Ooh-ooh, ooh (We're living in a)
Ooh-ooh, ooh
It's a world gone by, honey
Ooh-ooh, ooh (Hey, we're living in a)
Ooh-ooh, ooh (We're living, we're living, we're living, we're living)
It's a world gone by

[Bridge]
(We're living in a, we're living in a world gone by)
(We're living in a, we're living in a world gone by)

[Chorus]
I'm so blind for you, baby
I've been all this time
Honey, all this time
So, don't cry for me, baby
Open up your eyes
It's a world gone by, honey

[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)
(It's a world gone by)
(Ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)
(It's a world gone by)
