Once There Was a Time (Stereo Version) - Tom Jones

Once there was a time

I had a heart, but that

was once upon a time

once your love was mine

I used to wake up

and the world was fine

And then he came along

his fingers snapped

and you were gone

Though he had

everything he wanted

he just had to take

my love away from me...

Yes, once there was a time

I had to watch something

I prayed I'd never see

the girl I loved, so slowly

walk away from me...

Tears were bitter then

but soon enough

I learned to smile again

And now he's tired of you

he's left you

like I said he'd do

You've looked around

and found, you're all alone

you think you can come

crawling home to me...

And once there was a time

I'd have forgotten you

but now, Oh, can you see

I've learned my lesson

there won't be

another time for me...
