Once Upon A Time
|
Tony Bennett
|
Words by Lee Adams and Music by Charles Strouse
|
|
Did not chart, although it was recorded by such artists as Frank Sinatra, Robert
|
Goulet, Al Martino, Jim Reeves, Diahann Carroll, Vic Damone, and Bobby Darin
|
Sung in the Broadway musical "All American" by Ray Bolger and Eileen Herlie
|
|
Once upon a time a girl with moonlight in her eyes
|
Put her hand in mine and said she loved me so
|
But that was once upon a time, very long ago
|
|
Once upon a time we sat beneath a willow tree
|
Counting all the stars and waiting for the dawn
|
But that was once upon a time, now the tree is gone
|
|
How the breeze ruffled up her hair
|
How we always laughed as though tomorrow wasn't there
|
We were young and didn't have a care
|
Where did it go?
|
|
Once upon a time the world was sweeter than we knew
|
Everything was ours, how happy we were then
|
But somehow once upon a time never comes again
|
