Once Upon a Time - Jack Jones

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.
