Once Upon a Memory

(Dolly Parton) Once upon a memory I kissed lips as sweet as honey And lived in Heaven with an angel For a little while I knew love sweet and tender In a world of perfect splendor Once upon a memory Before he said goodbye Once upon a memory In Never-Neverland I had a love I know I'll Never ever have again A love like those You read in fairy tales Filled with joy and laughter Oh, but he ended it And it broke my heart And I've cried forever-after Once upon a memory I knew love beyond compare Oh, then his sweet lips Lost their sweetness And all that Heaven in his eyes Turned into a cold and distant stare Gone is the love, sweet and tender A world of heartache knows no splendor Oh, but once, once upon a memory I knew love beyond compare Yes, once upon a memory In Never-Neverland I had a love I know I'll Never ever have again A love like those You read in fairy tales Filled with joy and laughter But he ended it And it broke my heart And I've cried forever-after Oh, but once, once upon a memory I knew love beyond compare That was once upon a memory --- Once Upon a Memory - Dolly Parton
