Once upon a time so long ago
You vowed to come and stay but you would come and go.
Once upon a time so long ago
You vowed to come and stay but you would come and go.

I know I read your book so long ago, I've forgotten every line.
I know you had the look so long ago, I remember every line.
Every curve, every twinkle in your eye,
The way your smile made me smile.....
Once upon a time so long ago
You vowed to come and stay but you would come and go.

You were living for the thrill of a single time.
I know, I know.
When our romance was set in double time.

I know, I know.
Living not for me but for what they thought.
I know, I know.
Once upon a time so long ago.
