Once

(Ted Harris)



I was foolish once

And I let my once get away.



I was happy once

You'd never believe it today

Eyes got careless once

All that was you got away.



Life has beauty once

It's not worth living today

I slipped out once

All that was you slipped away.



All great regret

Like the flavor of wine

Only grows deeper

With the passing of time.



Life had meaning once

It's cold and empty today

I was foolish once

I let my once get away.



I let my once get away...
