WHAT HAPPENED (Joey Molland)

What happened to the years that went so fast??
I've seen all the years run right past
And now at last, it's over

What happened to the love we held so dear?
What happened to the beauties of night?
What happened to the sunshine (that) was so clear?
Isn't it heartbreaking how time slips away?

One of the reasons we learn to hide
Way down inside to stay
And all of the reasons we knew so well
That they go to hell like everyone said

What happened to the big boy down the block?
What happened to the beauties of night?
What happened to the schoolboy who looked at a rock?
Ain't it funny how they change?
Isn't it funny how they change?
(Isn't) it funny how they change?
It happened to you

[guitar solo]

One of the reasons we learn to hide
Way down inside to stay
And all of the reasons we knew so well
That they go to hell like everyone said

It happened to you, babe
It happened to me
