(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
