The World I Used to Know!

Glen Campbell · Gentle on My Mind/By the Time I Get to Phoenix [1998]

Someday an old familiar rain

Will come along and know my name

And then my shelter will be gone

And I'll have to move along.



But till I do

I'll stay awhile

And track the hidden country

Of your smile.



Someday the man I used to be

Will come along and call on me

And then because I'm just a man

You'll find my feet are made of sand.



But till that time

I'll tell you lies

And chart the hidden bound'ries

Of your eyes.



Someday the world I used to know

Will come along and bid me go

Then I'll be leavin' you behind

For love is just a state of mind.



But till that day

I'll be your man

And love away your troubles

If I can.



And till that day

I'll be your man

And love away your troubles

If I can...
