Once upon a time you and I
When we were dreaming easy
Fresh as limes and happy as a Sunday sky
There was nothing we could sell or buy
'Cause all we really needed
Was our bare feet and a pair of wings to fly

What do you think, darling
Have we lived too much, too fast
And have you
Have you felt melancholy, darling
Wishing that time hadn't passed

Can you tell me how it used to be
Have we missed our chance
Have we changed our hopes for fears
And our dreams for plans

Can you tell me how it used to be
When we really cared
And when love was on our side
On our side

I remember all the times before
When we could spend our evening
Staring at the ceiling, lying on the floor
My vocabulary wasn't broad
I spoke so little English
And the words transferred
Sound like something odd

What do you think, darling
Have I lived too much, too fast
And have you
Have you felt the melancholy, darling
Wishing that time hadn't passed

Can you tell me how it used to be
Have we missed our chance
Have we changed our hopes for fears
And our dreams for plans
Can you tell me how it used to be
When we really cared
And when love was on our side
On our side

What is your guess, darling
Have I lived too much, too fast
So if you
If you ever come and find me crying
Now you know
Now you know why

Can you tell me how I used to be
Have I missed my chance
Have I changed my hopes for fears
And my dreams for plans
Can you tell me how it used to be
When we really cared
And when love was on our side
On our side
