Once Upon a Time

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.
