Once upon a mem'ry 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 slender Once upon a mem'ry before he said goodbye Once upon a mem'ry the love would never ever end I have a love I know I'll never ever have again A love like those read in fairy tales filled with joy and laughter Oh but he ended it and it broke my heart and I'm proud forever after (Once upon a mem'ry find a love beyond compare) Oh then his sweet lips once the sweet lips know that heaven in his eyes Turned then to a cold and distant stand Gone is the love sweet and tender the world of heartache knows no splender Oh but once once upon a mem'ry I knew love beyond compare Yes once upon a mem'ry... That was once upon a mem'ry
