Once Upon a Time

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 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 up 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 - Tony Bennett
