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.
