Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time

-8  7    -7    7  -7   -6  6   5
 a girl with moonlight in her eyes

 4  -4   4   -4  5   
Put her hand in mine 

 6   -5   5   -4   4  -6
and said she loved me so.

 6  -6   -7   7   -7-6 6  5    
But that was once upon a time, 

-5 6  5   3 4
very long ago.

Verse 2
Once upon a time 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       

Refrain;

-5  6     5     -5 5  -5   6    5
How the breeze ruffled up her hair!

 -4 -4  -4 5     4   -4     5    6 -6 -6  -6 -7   6
How we always laughed as though tomorrow wasn't there.

-6  -8    7    6   -6 -6 -6  -8   7      8    7  -5 -66
We were young and didn't have a care.  Where did it go?

Verse 3
Once upon a time the world was sweeter than we know.
Evry'thing was ours, how happy we were then.
But somehow once upon a time never comes again.
