Once Upon a Time
Charles Strouse, Lee Adams
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.
