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!
