Once Upon a Love
Once upon a love
That never lied or stole;
Once upon a love
That filled the beggar's bowl.
Once upon a love
That always did forgive;
Once upon a love
Had ten and did four give.
Once upon a love
That sought the neighbour's best;
Once upon a love
Put one after the rest.
Once upon a love
On stone tablet engraved;
Once upon a love
True righteousness it craved.
Once upon a love
Hung upon an old tree;
Once upon a love
Available for free.
Once upon a love
Vanished over the years;
Once upon a love
Was killed by human cares.
Once upon a love
We now forever lack;
Once upon a love
Can we still get it back?
