"Once Upon A Time" lyrics - DAN FOGELBERG

Every morning you wake up alone
And you shake up your soul but nothing stirs
So you take the love of whoever you please
But you can't find no reason for giving yours

[Chorus:]
'Cause once upon a time
You held a love so strong and fine
That all the others simply don't compare
She's always on your mind
But once upon a time
You had her there

Drive into town 'most every night
On the chance that there might be someone waiting for you
You tell yourself you'll give it your best
Maybe settle for less but you never do

[Chorus]

Every morning you wake up alone
And you shake up your soul but nothing stirs
So you take the love of whoever you please
But you can't find no reason for giving yours

[Chorus]
