I know it's way past closing time
But I'd like to say a word or two
About nothing in particular Some old time and some new
I used to be ten feet tall Used to stand up above you all
But even the bright stars fade
Once upon a time,
that name was up in lights
Once I shone so bright for all to see
Once upon a star,
I reached and touched the sky But that was only once upon a time
And I hope you find out soon enough
Nothing's what it seems
Funny how
we're all old
Funny how everything we hold
Is gone before we understand
But once upon a time,
that name was up in lights
Once I shone so bright for all to see
Once upon a star,
I reached and touched the sky
But that was only once upon a time, old time
Have one more drink before you leave
The joke's always on me
But sometimes I remember when I'd talk and you'd believe
Funny how we're all old
Funny how everything we hold
Is gone before
we understand But once upon a time,
that name was up in lights
Once I shone so bright for all to see Once upon a star,
I reached and touched the sky
But that was only once upon a time But
once I had the touch that turned everything
to gold Now it's just another story told,
