Once Upon a Memory - Dolly Parton

Written by : 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
