Once Was Songtext
von Harry Belafonte

Once was a woman
Once was a dream
Once lived in heaven, it seemed

Wondering, oh wondering, I lost it
Gone is the feeling I had
Gone is the woman and gone is the dream
Gone is the heaven that seemed

Gone is the other
Gone is the touch
Gone is the rapture of all


Wondering o wondering, I lost it
All that once burned is now cold
Gone are the ones who deserved it
Gone is the story once told

Gone is the feeling
Gone is the time
Time of a rapture sublime
Wondering o wondering, I lost it
How to recapture the time

Gone is the love and the place now
Gone are the things I believed
Gone is the love and the place now
Gone are the things I believed
