Lyrics:
From the 1962 stage play 'All American' (Charles Strouse/Lee Adams)Morley Music Co. Inc. ASCAPAll Rights ReservedOnce upon a timeA girl with moonlight in her eyesPut her hand in mine,And said she loved me so...But that was once upon a time...Very long agoOnce upon a hillWe sat beneath a willow treeCounting all the starsAnd waiting for the dawnBut that was once upon a time,Now the tree is goneHow the breeze ruffled through her hairHow we always laughedAs though tomorrow wasn't there...We were youngAnd didn't have a careWhere did it go?Once upon a timeThe world was sweeter than we knewEverything was oursHow happy we were thenBut somehow once upon a timeNever comes again....This song can be found on the album 'In a Broadway Bag'
