Once upon a memory

Once upon a memory Lyrics

(Dolly Parton)


Once upon a memory

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 splendor

Once upon a memory

Before he said goodbye


Once upon a memory

In Never-Neverland

I had a love I know I'll

Never ever have again


A love like those

You read in fairy tales

Filled with joy and laughter


Oh, but he ended it

And it broke my heart

And I've cried forever-after


Once upon a memory

I knew love beyond compare


Oh, then his sweet lips

Lost their sweetness

And all that Heaven in his eyes

Turned into a cold and distant stare


Gone is the love, sweet and tender

A world of heartache knows no splendor

Oh, but once, once upon a memory

I knew love beyond compare


Yes, once upon a memory

In Never-Neverland

I had a love I know I'll

Never ever have again


A love like those

You read in fairy tales

Filled with joy and laughter

But he ended it

And it broke my heart

And I've cried forever-after


Oh, but once, once upon a memory

I knew love beyond compare

That was once upon a memory
