Once I thought our love would always be
Once when love was new
That was so very long ago when
we still both believed
That love would last forever
and was not just once upon a time
Once I shared dream with you
Love blossomed and grew
But now it seems that Father Time
had made other plans for me
For I woke up one day to find
that time had claimed its due
So if just once you find that special love
Hold on to it with all your heart
For you never can know
What life has in store and is
planning for you
For in just one moment
Where there once were two
people so true
There is only one
And what you thought was forever
Is now just once upon a time
Once I thought our love would always be
Once when love was new
That was so very long ago when
we still both believed
That love would last forever
and was not just once upon a time
