C      Em                  F          Dm
Once I walked through the halls of a station
G                    C7
Someone called your name
C         Em             F       Dm
In the streets I heard children laughing
G         G7        C
They all sound the same

Chorus:
C                        F
Wonder, could you ever know me
C                      G
Know the reason why I live
C                          F
Is there nothing you can show me
D#             G         C
Life seems so little to give

Once I climbed up the face of a mountain
And ate the wild fruit there
Fell asleep until the moonlight woke me
And I could taste your hair

Chorus:
Isn't everybody dreaming?
Then the voice I hear is real
Out of all the idle scheming
Can't we have something to feel?

Once upon a time leaves me empty
Tomorrow never came
I could sing the sound of your laughter
Still I don't know your name

Chorus:
Must be some way to repay you
Out of all the good you gave
If a rumor should delay you
Love seems so little to say
