"Once Upon A Yesterday" lyrics - WILLIE NELSON

Once upon a yesterday
We were children working hard at play
Tomorrow was a world away
Time was standing still

The magic of the radio
Taught us songs we didn't know
We sang out loud and we sang 'em low
Once upon a yesterday

We heard them sing about Saturday night
Kitty and Roy and Hank
And for a lot of what we know of love and truth
We have all of them to thank

Once upon a yesterday
Words were swirling in my mind
With melodies that fit the rhyme
Once upon a yesterday

We sang the songs that fit our dreams
And then the dreams came true
Songs of pain and songs of love
All for me and you

Once upon a yesterday
Tomorrow came and went away
And I wrote another song to play
Once upon a yesterday
