Once Upon a Memory

Once upon a memory
I kissed lips, as sweet as honey
And lived in Heaven
With an angel, for a little while

I knew love, sweet and tender
In a world of perfect splendor
Once upon a memory
Before, he said, "Goodbye"

Once upon a memory, in Never-Neverland
I had a love I know, I'll never, ever, have again
A love like those you read in fairy tales
Filled, with joy and laughter

Oh, but he ended it, and it broke my heart
And I cried, forever after
(Once upon a memory)
(I knew love, beyond compare)

Oh, then his sweet lips
Lost their sweetness
And all that Heaven, in his eyes
Turned into a cold and distant stare

Gone is the love, sweet and tender
A world of heartache, knows no splendor
Oh, but once, once upon a memory
I knew love beyond compare

Yes, once upon a memory, in Never-Neverland
I had a love, I know, I'll never ever have again
A love like those you read in fairy tales
Filled with joy and laughter

But he ended it, and it broke my heart
And I cried, forever after
Oh, but once, once upon a memory
I knew love, beyond compare

Oh, but once, once upon a memory
