I used to have a woman in my home

Long long time ago

And I still recall that gal

Though she's been a long time gone

She might have stayed
                  
But what I had to give
               
Was more like love
         
Now all I have
                            
Is a used to be and ain't no more

I used to have music in my home
Long long time ago
And I still recall that song
Though it's been a long time gone
I try to sing it yet
But it comes out in soughs and moans
And now all I have
Is a used to be and ain't no more

                       
Well, there used to be pictures upon the wall
                               
And there used to be kids runnin' round in the hall
          
And there used to be more than just one chair
                                   
Cause when I had friends they would visit me here

                                        
And there used to be a cross made of gold
                          
Hanging on the mirror that I since broke
              
But now all I have
                                  
Is a used to be and ain't no more

They used to bring mail to my home
Long long time ago
And I still recall those letters
Though they've been a long time gone
But how can they bring the mail
When the numbers on the house are gone
And now all I have
Is a used to be and ain't no more

I used to have a bible in my home
A long long time ago
And I still recall that book
Though it's been a long time gone
And it's been so long since I called the lord
I'm afraid he won't respond
And now all I have
Is a used to be and ain't no more
