Once upon a time I had a girl
Once upon a time I knew her love
I've stood and watched her walk away
And all that I could do was pray
And beg her not to go
Mmm mmm mmm

Once upon a time I knew her kiss
I never dreamed that it would end like this
But things don't always turn out right
And that's why I'm alone tonight
With my sorrow and me
With my sorrow and me

I feel like running through the door
And going where they're at
But I can't stand to sit and watch him
Kissing her like that
Once upon a time she loved me so
Once upon a time I let her go

Here I sit with the blues
And there's nothing I can do
But hope she returns someday
Why did she go away
Mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm
