Once upon a time you were right here
And then one day you were gone
Once upon a time we were oh so close
And then you were somewhere beyond
Where did you go, well I can't say
It's like you pulled down the curtain
Did you split or did you die
I guess I'll never know for certain
Absence makes the heart grow weaker
Absence makes the heart grow cold
Absence makes the whole world bleaker
Lo and behold
Once upon a time you were my light
But then that light went out
Once upon a time you were my water
But then we fell into a drought
How that happened, well I can't say
Was it something that I said
I did what what I could to revive us
But the patient was clearly dead
Do you remember how we used to fit
Just like two peas in a pie
Do you remember how we held each other close
And say our love would never die
Once upon a time we had it all
Never thought that it would end
Once upon a time we breathed the same air
There was nothing we couldn't transcend
But then one day you broke my heart
And I still bear the wound
I found myself on a distant world
Where I remain marooned
