From the Broadway Production
Lyric by Lee Adams
A Mickey McBride Arrangement
Refrain
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 THO’ 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,
EV’RYTHING WAS OURS, HOW HAPPY WE WERE THEN,
BUT SOMEHOW ONCE UPON A TIME NEVER COMES AGAIN!
Repeat Refrain
“All American”
ONCE UPON A TIME
