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

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

Once upon a time, it seemed the world was painted gold
And there was a man and, oh, I loved him so
The world was beautiful to see, very long ago

On a night like this, we saw the rising of the Moon
All the silver stars, like necklaces were strung
We spoke of such important things, we were very young

Open hearts, nothing to conceal
Every little thought was so exciting to reveal
All our dreams we knew would soon be real
Where did they 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
