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 hill
|
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 through 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....
|
|
|
This song can be found on the album "In a Broadway Bag"
