I used to be a King and everything around me turned to gold
I thought I had everything and now I'm left without a hand to hold
But it's all right I'm O.K. How are you
For what it's worth I must say I loved you

And in my bed late at night, I miss you
Someone is going to take my heart
But no one is going to break my heart again
I used to be a King and everything around me turned to rust

It's 'cause I built my life on sand
And I watched it crumble in the dust
But it's all right I'm O.K. and I want to know how you are
For what it's worth I must say I loved you as you are

And in my bed where are you
Someone is going to take my heart
But no one is going to break my heart again
I used to be a King and everything around me turned around

But I know all I have to do is sing
And I'll life myself way off the ground
But it's all right I'm O.K. How are you?
For what it's worth I must say I loved you

And in my bed where are you
Someone is going to take my heart
But no one is going to break my heart again

    "And in my bed late at night God how I miss you" is the third to the last line. Love this song for 45 years now. Didn't know it was Jerry until recently
