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.

But somehow once upon a time
Never comes again.
