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 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 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
