once upon a time

F#m
a girl with moonlight in her eyes

A
put her hand in mine

D
and said she loved me so

C#m E7
but that was once upon a time

A
very long ago

A
once upon a hill

F#m
we sat beneath a willow tree

A
counting all the stars

D
and waiting for the dawn

C#m E7
but that was once upon a time

A
now the tree is gone

Gdim7 C#m Gdim7 A
how the breeze ruffled through her hair

Bm C#m Bm E
how we always laughed as though tomorrow wasn’t there

Bm A Bm
we were young and didn’t have a care

F#m Bm E
where did it go?

A
once upon a time

F#m C#m
the world was sweeter than we knew

everything was ours

D
how happy we were then

F#m C#m
but somehow “once upon a time”

E A
never comes again

A E7
“once upon a time”

A
never comes again
