Jay McShann Once Upon A Time Lyrics
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 the willow tree,
Counting all the stars,
And just waiting for the dawn,
So, once upon a time,
Now, the tree is gone!
How the breeze ruffled through her hair,
How we laughed,
As though tomorrow wasn't there . . . We were young,
And didn't have a care,
So where, did it go?
Once upon a time,
The world was sweeter than we knew,
Everything was ours,
How happy we were then . . . So, once upon a time,
Is hard to find again!
How the breeze ruffled through her hair,
How we laughed,
As though tomorrow wasn't there . . . We were young,
And didn't have a care,
So where did it go?
Once upon a time,
The world was sweeter than we knew,
Everything was ours,
How happy we were then . . . So, once upon a time,
Is hard to find again!
My mother picked cotton for his grandfather in the state of Oklahoma. I had the honor of watching him perform here in Kansas City, Mo.
Sweetly sad, isn't it?
