Once upon a time you and I
When we were green and 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 barefeet 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 the melancholy, darling,
Wishing the 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 living
Staring at the ceiling, lying on the floor
Our vocabulary wasn't broad
And I spoke so little English
That the word "stress" would sound like something odd
What do you think darling ?
Have we lived too much too fast ?
And have you, have you felt the melancholy, darling,
Wishing the 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 darlin' ?
have I lived too much too fast ?
So if you, if you ever come and find me cryin'
Now you know, now you know why
Can you tell me how I used to be ?
Have I missed our 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.
