Once I was the best, no-one could touch me
I was the youngest man playing in the band
I wish you could have seen it, the stories I could tell you
The people we met, the trouble we got into
Once I was the best...
So look, look, look what time took
I'll show you my hands
So look, look, look what time took
I knew from the minute she entered the room
It was like the movies
And she was like a movie star
Look I'll show you her picture
So look, look, look what time took
I'll show you her picture
And look, look, look what time took
Just last month, my sister and me went down to the promenade
They loaded us up, me and my wheels, in the back of the cab
And the beach ballroom still stands but the dancehall band is long gone
Yeah I don't know any of those lads, you know they've all passed
I was the youngest one
So look, look, look what time took
And look, look, look what time took
It was a fine time
And look, look, look what time took
They called me the loon and I didn't mind
No, I didn't mind
