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 time 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 has 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 our's how happy we were then
But somehow once upon a time never comes again
