Once I was glad
Always happy never sad
And every day
Felt like Sunday
And although things were slow
Never seemed to have no dough
Somehow, I never once got lonely
Ya' see the fact is more or less
You're gamblin' with your own happiness
And most all your would-be friends
Turn out so phony
Oh but times they change
And I'm through the rains
And I'm seein' the Queen of Hearts
Don't know where to start
Or how to stop
And after things have come and gone
Left me feelin'
That I've done so wrong
Oh, I've spent so much time
Feelin' guilty
And as I watch you sit across the room
Beautiful as the flowers bloom
Living it just one day
Oh brother you're gonna come back
To find me gone
I love you Queen of Hearts
Tell me not to stop
Just tell me where
To start
Where now baby
Tell me where to start
And after all that we've been through
I find that when I think of you
A warm soft wind runs
Through and through
And in my heart
There's only you
And I will always keep on trying
To gather this strange peace of mind
Without it there'd be
Lonely me and
Oh darlin' lonely you
I love you Queen of Hearts
Don't tell me when to stop
Tell me when to start
I love you queen of Hearts
Tell me not to stop
Just tell me where
To start
Always happy never sad
And every day
Felt like Sunday
And although things were slow
Never seemed to have no dough
Somehow, I never once got lonely
Ya' see the fact is more or less
You're gamblin' with your own happiness
And most all your would-be friends
Turn out so phony
Oh but times they change
And I'm through the rains
And I'm seein' the Queen of Hearts
Don't know where to start
Or how to stop
And after things have come and gone
Left me feelin'
That I've done so wrong
Oh, I've spent so much time
Feelin' guilty
And as I watch you sit across the room
Beautiful as the flowers bloom
Living it just one day
Oh brother you're gonna come back
To find me gone
I love you Queen of Hearts
Tell me not to stop
Just tell me where
To start
Where now baby
Tell me where to start
And after all that we've been through
I find that when I think of you
A warm soft wind runs
Through and through
And in my heart
There's only you
And I will always keep on trying
To gather this strange peace of mind
Without it there'd be
Lonely me and
Oh darlin' lonely you
I love you Queen of Hearts
Don't tell me when to stop
Tell me when to start
I love you queen of Hearts
Tell me not to stop
Just tell me where
To start

What a lovely song! That sax part! And the piano towards the end... I was 21.

I hope history is kind to all of the faithfully departed Allmans - Duane, Gregg, Berry, Butch - RIP all

Gregg Allman had his pick of musicians when he went shopping for studio players. I suppose many would think that's because of his commercial success -- and that may be true -- but he was also a class act with a truckload of talent. It's easy to say yes when that kind of person asks a favor.
Wow that sax!

So chill

I adored this song from the very first listen. Since then, I've got to like it even more!
Great song! I'm just rebuilding my vinyl collection. (all those discs I let go 
). This was a must pickup.
