Once Upon A Time Lyrics - Perry Como

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!
