Once upon a time

A boy with moonlight in his eyes

Put his hand in mine

And said he loved me so

But that was once upon a time

Very long ago

Once upon a time

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 his 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

This world was sweeter than we knew

Everything was ours

How happy we were then

But somehow once upon a time

Never comes again
