I remember as the seasons turned to fall   Wind was sitting and the leaves fell a hinting a sign   Of the near winter's ball   Chill in the air as I strolled down the back steps   Looking for a tale to tell   Then she slipped me a stare as I slid into my chair   She already knew me too well      She said, "Hello" in that beautiful voice   My reply was nowhere as sweet   She seemed impressed by the state of my mess   She laughed at the wigs on my feet   Offered me a cigarette but before I could even refuse   We were standing alone and she was chilled to the bone   She told me to sing the blues      Hey, hey now I feel alright and I just wanted to see   If I may, if I might be the king of your world tonight      So I told her of the books I'd read and details about the time   How I stole 6 dollars from a man named Jed   To turn around and pay him back 9   Quoted my favorite poem but I ended it terribly wrong   She said, "I understand" and then she clapped both her hands   And said "That's my favorite song"      Hey hey now I feel alright and I just wanted to see   If I may, if I might be the king of your world tonight   If I may, if I might be the king of your world tonight      Just then a man walked in and took her away   She said her sweet goodbye and I'll see you again one day   So it was over and I was standing right here all alone   And I said to myself as I dusted my shelf   This time I think it was love      Hey, hey now I feel alright and I just wanted to see   If I may, if I might be the king of your world tonight      Hey hey now I feel alright and I just wanted to see   If I may, if I might be the king of your world tonight   If I may, if I might be the king of your world tonight
