Dan Fogelberg - Once Upon A Time lyrics

Every morning you wake up alone

And you shake up your soul

But nothing stirs

So you take the love of whoever

you please

But you can't find no reason

For giving yours.

'Cause, once upon a time

You held a love so strong and fine

That all the others simply don't compare

She's always on your mind

But once upon a time

You had her there.

Drive into town 'most every night

On the chance that there might be someone

Waiting for you

You tell yourself you'll

Give it your best

Maybe settle for less

But you never do.

'Cause, once upon a time

You held a love so strong and fine

That all the others simply don't compare

She's always on your mind

But once upon a time

You had her there.

Every morning you wake up alone

And you shake up your soul

But nothing stirs

So you take the love of whoever

you please

But you can't find no reason

For giving yours.

'Cause, once upon a time

You held a love so strong and fine

That all the others simply don't compare

She's always on your mind

But once upon a time

You had her there.
