Lyrics
Once upon a yesterday
We were children, working hard at play
Tomorrow, was a world away
Time, was standing still
The magic, of the radio
Taught us songs, we didn't know
We sang out loud, and we sang 'em low
Once upon a yesterday
We heard them sing about, Saturday night
Kitty, and Roy, and Hank
And for a lot of what we know, of love and truth
We have all of them, to thank
Once upon a yesterday
Words were swirling, in my mind
With melodies, that fit the rhyme
Once upon a yesterday
We sang the songs, that fit our dreams
And then, the dreams, came true
Songs of pain, and songs, of love
All for me, and you
Once upon a yesterday
Tomorrow, came and went away
And I wrote another song, to play
Once upon a yesterday
Writer(s): Buddy Cannon, Willie Nelson
