Once upon a time I had a girl Once upon a time I knew her love I've stood and watched her walk away And all that I could do was pray And beg her not to go Mmm mmm mmm Once upon a time I knew her kiss I never dreamed that it would end like this But things don't always turn out right And that's why I'm alone tonight With my sorrow and me With my sorrow and me I feel like running through the door And going where they're at But I can't stand to sit and watch him Kissing her like that Once upon a time she loved me so Once upon a time I let her go Here I sit with the blues And there's nothing I can do But hope she returns someday Why did she go away Mmm mmm mmm Mmm mmm mmm
