Perry Como - Once Upon a Time Lyrics

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

• Julie Ann Rosenthal

  Once upon a time, a girl with moonlight in her eyes.

• Donna Mikels Shea

  A vagrant memory--a poignant song. Hum it to yourself.
