From the 1962 stage play "All American" (Charles Strouse/Lee Adams) Morley Music Co. Inc. ASCAP All Rights Reserved Once upon a time A girl with moonlight in her eyes Put her hand in mine, And said she loved me so... But that was once upon a time... Very long ago Once upon a hill We sat beneath a willow tree Counting all the stars And waiting for the dawn But that was once upon a time, Now the tree is gone How the breeze ruffled through her hair How we always laughed As though tomorrow wasn't there... We were young And didn't have a care Where did it go? Once upon a time the world was sweeter than we knew Everything was ours But somehow once upon a time Never comes again.... This song can be found on the album "In a Broadway Bag"
