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 the 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!
