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
