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 bare feet 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 melancholy, darling 
Wishing that 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 
My vocabulary wasn't broad 
I spoke so little English 
That the word "stress" would 
Sound like something odd 
 
What do you think, darling? 
Have I lived too much, too fast? 
And have you 
Have you felt the melancholy, darling 
Wishing that 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, darling? 
Have I lived too much, too fast? 
So if you 
If you ever come and find me crying 
Now you know 
Now you know why 
 
Can you tell me how I used to be? 
Have I missed my 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...
