Once

(Ted Harris)



I was happy once

You'd never believe it today

I got careless once

All that was you got away.



All great regret

Like the flavor of wine

You only grow deeper

With the passing of time.



Life had beauty once

It's not worth living today

I slipped out once

All that was here slipped away.



All great regret

Like the flavor of wine

You only grow deeper

With the passing of time.



Life had meaning once

It's cold and so empty today

I was foolish once

I let my once get away...
