|
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 the 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! |
