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 very long ago Once upon a hill 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 Bridge How the breeze ruffled through her hair How we always laughed as though tomorrow wasn’t there We were young and didn’t have a care Where did it go Once upon a time the world was sweeter than we knew Ev’rything was ours how happy we were then But somehow once upon a time Never comes again
