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
And very long ago...

Once upon a time
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

How the breeze
Used to ruffle through her hair
How she'd always laugh
As though tomorrow wasn't there

We were young and never knew a care
Where did it go?

Once upon a time
This world was sweeter than we knew
Everything was ours
How happy we were then
But somehow once upon a time
Never comes again
