As I look back on my life and times
My pleasures have been few
And my only happy memories
Are when I remember you
I loved you-the moment I saw you
And far across the crowded room my heart adored you
And all you said was "I'm glad to meet you"
And the earth moved all around me-love had finally found me!
I loved you-my heart wrote you a letter
And everytime I saw you on the street I knew you better
But you know-I was only dreaming
Deep within my secret splendour-I'm sure you don't remember
Once upon a time I met a girl who had the prettiest blue eyes
But after all the times I've tried
And of all the times I've cried
Those pretty blue eyes would never notice me
And if they ever give awards for the loneliest story
I'd be there when they give 'em out
And I'd win without a doubt
But there's no fame-for tears and pain-and love that don't work out
I love you-I'm glad that I said it
And nothing you could say or do could make me regret it
And though my arms may never hold you
I will wrap my love around you-oh, thank God above I found you
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
Once upon a time I met a girl who had the prettiest blue eyes
