C#                      A#m
Once upon a time you and I
                         Fm
when we were green and easy
         F#
fresh as limes and happy as a Sunday sky
C#                              A#m
There was nothing we can sell or buy
                      Fm
'Cause all we really needed
         F#
was our barefeet and a pair of wings to fly.

D#m          G#
What do you think darling?
D#m                         G#
Have we lived too much too fast?
            D#m                       G#
And have you, have you felt the melancholy darling,
D#m                      G#
wishing the time hadn't passed?

Chorus:
        C#
Can you tell me how it used to be?
         F
Have we missed our chance?
         F#
Have we changed our hopes for fears
          D#m           G#
and our dreams for plans?
         C#
Can you tell me how it used to be
         F
when we really cared?
         A#m7             F#
and when love was on our side
        G#
on our side.

I remember all the times before
When we could spend our living
Staring at the ceiling, lying on the floor
My vocabulary wasn't broad
I spoke so little English
And the word stress would
Sound like something odd

What do you think, darling?
Have we lived too much, too fast?
And have you
Have you felt melancholy, darling
Wishing that time hadn't passed?

Chorus

What is your guess, darling?
Have I lived too much, too fast?
So if you, if you ever come and find me crying
Now you know, now you know why

Chorus:
Can you tell me how I used to be?
Have I missed my chance?
Have I changed my hopes for fears
And my dreams for plans?
Can you tell me how it used to be
When we really cared
And when love was on our side, on our side?
