Analysis of Now You're All But Gone
Once you set my heart afire
Once you were what I admire
Once you were my lone desire
Now you're all but gone
Once you were my turtledove
Once you were my courtly love
Once you were what I dreamed of
Now you're all but gone
Once you made me Peter Pan
Once you were my biggest fan
Once you were my master plan
Now you're all but gone
Once you were my seraphim
Once you were my precious gem
Once you were creme de la creme
Now you're all but gone
