A
Once upon a time

            F#m
A girl with moonlight in her eyes

                A
Put her hand in mine

                       D
And said she loved me so

             C#m              E7
But that was once upon a time

            A
Very long ago


A
Once upon a hill

          F#m
We sat beneath a willow tree

                  A
Counting all the stars

                       D
And waiting for the dawn

                C#m          E7
But that was once upon a time

                   A
Now the tree is gone


Gdim7   C#m     Gdim7              A
How the breeze ruffled through her hair

Bm            C#m                 Bm             E
How we always laughed as though tomorrow wasn't there

Bm      A         Bm
We were young and didn't have a care

F#m              Bm   E
Where did it go?



A
Once upon a time

            F#m                    C#m
The world was sweeter than we knew

                A
Everything was ours

                      D
How happy we were then

             F#m              C#m
But somehow "once upon a time"

  E            A
Never comes again


A                 E7  
"Once upon a time"    

A
Never comes again
