Lyrics

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 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 up 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


Once upon a time

Never comes again
