Once Upon A Time

Once upon a time you would travel

A hundred miles with a smile

Just to be by my side

Now you would not make

The journey across a room



And where we once watched sunsets

We now watch television in silence



Of all the things that I will miss

Oh, your shy laugh, your tender kiss

The thing that I will miss the most

Is you holding my hand



Although parting is such sour sorrow

I agree that we'll be

Happier apart

For you no longer smile at me

As once upon a time you did



Where we gazed at the Milky Way

We now gaze at the floor in silence



Of all the things that I will miss

Oh, your shy laugh, your tender kiss

The thing that I will miss the most

Is you holding my hand



Wherever you go

Take my love with you
