Perry Como — 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 hill 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! 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!
