Marty Robbins - Not So Long Ago Lyrics
Not so long ago, she cared for me
I was young and acted foolishly
Broke her heart, caused us to part
Once upon a time
In my sorrow, now I curse the day
I broke her heart, caused us to part
Once upon a time
Once upon a time, I must confess
In my reach was complete happiness
Didn't know that I was really livin'
Once upon a time
Now another kisses her goodnight
If I'd only done a little givin'
Once upon a time
Once upon a time,
I laughed, the night, she said, This is the end
Made her cry in front of all her friends
Acted smart, and broke her heart
Once upon a time
I remember what I told the crowd
Let her go, I even yelled it loud
I talked a lot, and lost a lot
Once upon a time
Gone forever, never to return
Is the love that once so brightly burned
I remember once upon a time
How much I used to brag
Like so many little grains of sand
I let her slip through my foolish hands
And before I knew it, love had turned
From riches back to rags
Once upon a time she was my love.

Thought I had heard all his songs, but not this one, so even now it is so good to hear the best country/western/ & love songs singer there ever was or sadly will be.
simply fantastic love this song from marty the greatest singer ever
What a song. What a voice.
Thanks for the perceptive comment jbrandiwine. This is one of my alltime favorite Marty ballads and was one of the first of his songs I posted. I couln't believe that I was so lazy as to use the same photo all the way through though.
