Once upon a time A boy with moonlight in his eyes Put his hand in mine And said he loved me so 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 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 The world was sweeter than we knew Everything was ours How happy we were then But somehow once upon a time Never comes again.
