Lyrics Once Was a Time (Live) - The Mamas & The Papas

Once was a time i thought that love could be sold or bought
And everything fell in place for me.
The fashion of passion i rationed with caution
Because of the notion the potion of passion
Had never been passed to me.
But since it was sunday and sunny i went for a stroll.
But peanuts and pigeons and people put me in a hole.
A blessing refreshing in you did unfold,
Dispelling depressing distressing thoughts from my soul.
Once was a time i thought that love could be sold or bought
And everything fell in place for me.
The fashion of passion i rationed with caution
Because of the notion the potion of passion
Had never been passed to me.
But now that you're by my side,
I find that i feel so satisfied,
Somebody must have lied to me
