I'm gonna leave the planet burning
I'm gonna drive the fastest car
I'm gonna teach them while you're learning
I'm gonna take it very farI'm gonna ride the steepest mountain
I'm gonna travel to the moon
I'm gonna swim the deepest ocean
I'm gonna leave the planet soonSing to me, why won't you sing to me
Why won't you sing like you did,
A long, long time ago?
It was such a long, long time agoIt's not a question of devotion
You cannot carve your own tattoo
I'm not a part of your emotion
You can't tell me what to doI'm gonna star the greatest movie
I'm gonna write the perfect song
I'm gonna make it through the wires
I'm gonna make it all aloneSing to me, why you sing to me
Why won't you sing like you did,
A long, long time ago?You fall easy,
But it's easy to give in when you fall
Oh, and you fall easy
But it's easy to give in when the rain falls
I won't fall at allSing to me, why won't you sing to me
Why won't you sing like you did,
A long, long time ago?
Sing to me, why won't you sing to me
Why won't you sing like you did,
A long, long time ago?You've got to sing
You never sing like you did before
You used to sing
You've got to sing like you did beforeYou never sing
You've got to sing like you did before
You never sing, like you did before
Like you did before,
Like you did beforeI've got a hole in my heart,
I see darkness ahead
I've got a whole lot of living
To do before I left
There's a hole in my heart,
It was something you said
You've got a whole lot of nothing
In that pretty little head
