[Verse 1]
Once upon a time
A man with moonlight in his eyes
Put his hand in mine and said he loved me so
But that was once upon a time, very long ago

[Verse 2]
Once upon a year
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

[Bridge?]
How the breeze ruffled through his hair
How we always laughed as though tomorrow wasn't there
We were young and didn't have a care, where did it go

[Chorus]
Once upon a time
The world was sweeter than we know
Everything was ours, how happy we were then
But somehow once upon a time never comes again

[Instrumental break]

[Bridge?]
How the breeze ruffled through his hair
How we laughed as though tomorrow wasn't there
We were young and didn't have a care, where did it go
Where did it go

[Chorus]
Once upon a time
The world was sweeter than we know
Everything was ours, how happy we were then
But somehow once upon a time never comes again
