Once upon a long time ago
As you and me sat in the snow...

How could you say you love me
And then run away...

Off she flew
one starry night...

As I sit and wait alone
Just waiting for the ring of the phone...

Yes, it is your smile I want
Okay, so its you I look for...

The closed books
The open memories...

Lying on the hospital bed
And i am just too scared...

Today is the day I take down THAT bottle
marked V.S.O.P. I keep locked in my cellar...

Just trying to stay young in a world grown old
Having been told, being constantly cajoled...

Boiling, bubbling
The water is running...

As I talk to my past life
Slowly I fill with strife...

I remember
One day long ago...
