Once Upon A Time
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When you passed my way
It seemed my lucky day
The world was oh-so fine
Once upon a time
We walked for a little while
You smiled that special smile
And when we said goodnight
You held me oh-so tight
Then you found someone new
And I spent my nights alone
'Cause now we're through
There's nothing I can do
I gotta say forget
Forget him, forget him
'Cause he's no good, no, no
Now, when you pass my way
I guess I'll smile and say
To think that boy was mine
Once upon a time
To think that boy was mine
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
Woh, oh, once upon a time
No, no, no, no, no, once upon a time
