Charles Strouse - Once Upon a Time lyrics

[Verse 1] Once upon a time A man with moonlight in his eyes Put his hand in mine and said he loved me so But that was once upon a time, very long ago [Verse 2] Once upon a year 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 is gone [Bridge?] How the breeze ruffled through his hair How we always laughed as though tomorrow wasn't there We were young and didn't have a care, where did it go [Chorus] Once upon a time The world was sweeter than we know Everything was ours, how happy we were then But somehow once upon a time never comes again [Instrumental break] [Bridge?] How the breeze ruffled through his hair How we laughed as though tomorrow wasn't there We were young and didn't have a care, where did it go Where did it go [Chorus] Once upon a time The world was sweeter than we know Everything was ours, how happy we were then But somehow once upon a time never comes again
