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
