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
