Once I Believed

Once i believed

Verse:

I took for granted the simplest joys of life

Smiles always came after tears

Day after day, year into year

All those pleasures i knew

Are no longer true

For

Chorus:

Once i believed that with april came spring

And the songs a young lover would sing

Well, here it is april

But there's no sign of spring

Why was i fooled by the old standard rule

That with roses there must be perfume

Well, here are the roses

But there is no perfume

Like the leaves that kiss the trees goodbye

To grace the fallen snow

Foolish i kissed my heart good bye

And like the leaves if find the snow is cold

Once i believed that no sad songs i'd sing

Now the goddess of love's had her fling

She took away my love

And left no sign of spring
