Once Upon a Time

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
A very long ago

Once upon a time
We sat beneath the willow tree
Counting all the stars
And waiting for the dawn
But that was once upon a time
A very long ago

Oh, the breeze ruffled up her hair
Oh, we always laughed although 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 were we then
But that was once upon a time
A very long ago

Once upon a time
The world was sweeter than we knew
Everything was ours
How happy were we then
But that was once upon a time
A very long ago

Once upon a time, the world
Everything was ours
The birds and the bees and the fishes
All the loveliness was ours
Blue skies, wonderful rivers
But that was once upon a time
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
