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 the 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 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
Everything was ours, how happy we were then
But, somehow, once upon a time, never comes again
