Lightning in a Bottle

I used to be the lucky one My only task's to bask in the sun And my golden years came so suddenly Now I just try to pretend it doesn't torture me Losing all I ever wanted Learning what I really need I made lightning in a bottle But I forgot the recipe If you had seen my golden hair Falling down around my shoulders Beg you to done for me whatever I ask of you Now when you look at me I feel you seeing through I want to talk, come back to me And why didn't I grab a hold and see Oh, the days I spent, lying in the sun Praying for some way to make a little fun Losing all I ever wanted Learning what I really need I made lightning in a bottle But I forgot the recipe My golden years came so suddenly Now I just try to pretend it doesn't torture me Losing all I ever wanted Learning what I really need I made lightning in a bottle But I forgot the recipe Oh, I made lightning in the bottle But I forgot the recipe --- Lightning in a Bottle - Audra Mae
