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 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

how happy we were then

but somehow once upon a time

never comes again
