Once Upon A Time Lyrics
Bobby Darin

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 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 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
But somehow once upon a time
Never comes again....
This song can be found on the album "In a Broadway Bag"
