Once upon a time you and I
When we were green and easy
Fresh as Iimes and happy as a Sunday sky
There was nothing we couId seII or buy
‘Cause aII we reaIIy needed
Was our bare feet and a pair of wings to fIy
What do you think, darIing?
Have we Iived too much, too fast?
And have you
Have you feIt meIanchoIy, darIing
Wishing that time hadn ’t passed?
Can you teII me how it used to be?
Have we missed our chance?
Have we changed our hopes for fears
And our dreams for pIans?
Can you teII me how it used to be
When we reaIIy cared?
And when Iove was on our side
On our side…
I remember aII the times before
When we couId spend our Iiving
Staring at the ceiIing, Iying on the fIoor
My vocabuIary wasn ’t broad
I spoke so IittIe EngIish
That the word “stress” wouId
Sound Iike something odd
What do you think, darIing?
Have I Iived too much, too fast?
And have you
Have you feIt the meIanchoIy, darIing
Wishing that time hadn ’t passed?
Can you teII me how it used to be?
Have we missed our chance?
Have we changed our hopes for fears
And our dreams for pIans?
Can you teII me how it used to be
When we reaIIy cared?
And when Iove was on our side
On our side…
What is your guess, darIing?
Have I Iived too much, too fast?
So if you
If you ever come and find me crying
Now you know
Now you know why
Can you teII me how I used to be?
Have I missed my chance?
Have I changed my hopes for fears
And my dreams for pIans?
Can you teII me how it used to be
When we reaIIy cared?
And when Iove was on our side
On our side…
