Once upon a yesterday
We were children working hard at play
Tomorrow was a world away
Time was standing still
The magic of the radio
Taught us songs we didn't know
We sang 'em loud and we sang 'em low
Once upon a yesterday
We heard them sing on Saturday night
Kitty and Roy and Hank
And for a lot of what we know of love and truth
We have them to thank
Once upon a yesterday
Words were swirling in my mind
With melodies that fit the rhyme
Once upon a yesterday
We sang the songs that fit our dreams
And then the dreams came true
Songs of pain and songs of love
All for me and you
Once upon a yesterday
Tomorrow came and went away
And I wrote another song to play
Once upon a yesterday

And then the dreams came true
Songs of pain and songs of love
