Once
Once, there was a place in time...Where I found all that I desired.
Once, there were words of rhyme...
To match a devoted heart on fire.
Once, all rainbows led to a pot of gold...
But I had all I needed, so I did not take.
Once, all streams were fed by snow...
But I drank not, for fear of making a mistake.
Once, the stars twinkled in the sky...
But I could not take my eyes off of you.
Once, as night drew darkness, beside you I lie.
And all that I felt, love would be forever true.
Now, I am puzzled as time does pass...
My heart is healing with each new day.
Now, was not once...our love supposed to last...
How can my heart ever feel this way?
Once, I missed you more than you can know...
Now, I find I miss... missing you instead.
Once, I was shattered, when you did go...
Now, I find happiness, after love is dead.
Once, there was a place in time...
Where I found all I desired.
Once, there were words of rhyme...
To match a devoted heart on fire.
Once.
