Once Upon A Time Lyrics - Electric Light Orchestra

Meeting you in the park and talking in the pouring rain 

(oh what a time we had) 

Running home in the dark and pretending it was all a game 

(oh what a time) 

Those were the days, those were the days 

Memories of you have really left a scar 

And all that I can do now is to love you from afar 

'cos everything was fine 

That once upon a time 

Asking you if you'd stay, not believing that you might 

(oh what a time we had) 

Missing you through the day, dreaming of you through the night 

(oh what a time) 

Those were the days, those were the days 

Though there's no denying that you're nowhere around 

I can't help myself from looking for your face amongst the crowd 

'cos everything was fine, that once upon a time 

Have to leave the past behind me and get on the right track 

Though there's nothing I can say that will ever bring you back 

But everything was fine, that once upon a time 

I wish I knew for how much longer this misery will last 

Can't control these feelings, I'm still living in the past 

'cos everything was fine, that once upon a time 

I've got to build my life again, try to find somebody new 

But I know inside my heart of hearts there'll be no replacing you 

But everything was fine, that once upon a time
