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. Bridge: 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, Ev'rything was ours ? how happy we were then! But somehow once upon a time Never comes a - gain.
