Why didn't ya show me
Why didn't ya let me know
Why didn't ya hold me
Why can't you let me go
There's a heartache in New York City
Keeping you awake all night long
Something you forgot to say to make me stay
If I was the best you never had
Well why didn't ya show me
Why didn't ya let me know
Why didn't ya hold me
Why can't you let me go
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
You wanna go back to the night we left behind
Well maybe I don't know much about nothing
But I know a little bit about lovin'
There's just no going back to
Once upon a time
You could never be more in love with me
I saw it in your eyes on that winter night
But I never, never, never felt so cold
You hid your heart
What I don't know can't keep me warm
So why didn't ya show me
Why didn't ya let me know
Why didn't ya hold me
Why can't you let me go
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
You wanna go back to the night we left behind
Well maybe I don't know much about nothing
But I know a little bit about lovin'
There's just no going back to
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
I coulda, I coulda blown your mind
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
I don't wanna go back to the night we left behind
Well maybe I don't know much about nothing
But I know a little bit about lovin'
There's just no going back to
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
Don't wanna go back
Don't wanna go back
Cause baby I don't know much about nothing
But I know a little bit about lovin'
There's just no going back to
Once upon a time
Why didn't ya let me go
