Richard M. Sherman
Once I Was Loved
Once I was loved
I knew I was loved
I flew through my days
In fanciful ways
Secure and sure there'd always be
Endless love for me

Gone is that love
My fanciful dove
Has tears in her eyes
She no longer flies
And yet, my heart will not despair

For it's there
Just a memory away
Once I was loved
So always come what may
Love's happy memory
Ever will be loving me
