Once Upon a Time

(Harlan Howard)



Once upon a time a boy and a girl met

He handed her a line she'll never forget

Now when he sees her she's always cryin'

But she used to be happy once upon a time.



Now the boy was you, the girl was me

You wanted your freedom, well, now you're free

I'm back to a life of loneliness

No one would ever guess.



Once upon a time I even smiled

I looked at life like a happy child

I wasn't always this low in mind

Somebody used to love me once upon a time.

Once upon a time I even smiled

Somebody used to love me once upon a time.



Once upon a time, once upon a time.

Once upon a time, once upon a time...
