When We Loved

(album: Melissa Manchester - 1979)

Once upon a time there was time enough for you and me
You know I nearly lost my mind thinking about the way it used to be
We never know what it was all about
We never took the time to talk it out

But there was time enough to love you when we laughed
Love enough to hold you when we cried
I guess we never took the time to miss it 'til it died
(But) once upon a time, there was a time when we loved

Once upon a time when we were young and it was all brand new
Remember how our eyes were blind to everything but me and you
Oh, it's such a foolish game we play
Didn't know it when we had it made

But there was time enough to love you when we laughed
Love enough to hold you when we cried
I guess we never took the time to miss it 'til it died
(But) once upon a time, there was a time when we loved

There was time enough to love you when we laughed
Love enough to hold you when we cried
I guess we never took the time to miss it 'til it died
(But) once upon a time, there was a time when we loved

There was time enough to love you when we laughed
Love enough to hold you when we cried
I guess we never took the time to miss it 'til it died
(But) once upon a time, there was a time when we loved
