Once

(Ted Harris)



I was foolish once and I let my once get away

I was happy once you'd never believe it today

I got careless once all at once you got away

Life had beauty once, it's not worth living today.



I slipped out once all at once 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 so empty today.



I was foolish once I let my once get away...
