Once

(Skeeter Davis)



Once I walked in fields of clover

That was when you walked by my side

Then you left and love was over

The grass turned brown the clover died.



Once I chase a pretty rainbow

Almost reached that pot of gold

But I could not find the treasure

Without your hand in mine to hold.



Once I thought the world looked rosey

That's when I faced the world with you

Now it seems the color's changin'

From rosey red to lonely blue.



Once I thought life was worth livin'

You made it all worthwhile somehow

Now you're gone and love's gone with you

Once I was living but not now...
