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
