Once Upon a Time

[Chorus]
Once upon a time
A girl with moonlight in her eyes
Put her hand in mine
And said she loved me so

[Post-Chorus]
But that was once upon a time
A very long ago

[Chorus]
Once upon a time
We sat beneath the willow tree
Counting all the stars
And waiting for the dawn

[Post-Chorus]
But that was once upon a time
A very long ago

[Verse]
How the breeze ruffled up her hair
How we always laughed although 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 knew
Everything was ours
How happy were we then

[Post-Chorus]
But that was once upon a time
A very long ago

[Chorus]
Once upon a time
The world was sweeter than we knew
Everything was ours
How happy were we then

[Post-Chorus]
But that was once upon a time
A very long ago

[Outro]
Once upon a time
The world, everything was ours
The birds, and the bees, and the fishes
All the lovely animals ours
The stars, wonderful worlds
But that was once upon a time
Once upon a time, once upon a time
