Saga - (Goodbye) Once Upon A Time Lyrics






As a child
Each day seemed to last forever
All the answers
To mysteries were mine to uncover

As a child I was entertained by simple pleasures
All the questions
Were ways to find the earlen treasures

As a child
Sheltered by my innocence
I was searching
For ways to climb the highest fences

The days go by
Where did the time go

Goodbye once upon a time
No more thinking I'm past my prime
Goodbye once upon a time
No more living in the past
What's mine is mine

As a young man
My life's gone through so many changes
All the dragons
I thought I'd slain became my frustrations

As a young man
I've come to meet my childhood's end
All the answers
Have since convinced me,
I should stop pretending

As a young man
Finally I've realized
I've been dreaming
Living with my past disguises
Where did the time go

Goodbye once upon a time
No more thinking I'm past my prime
Goodbye once upon a time
No more living in the past
What's mine is mine

Goodbye once upon a time
No more thinking I'm past my prime
Goodbye once upon a time
No more living in the past
What's mine is mine

    (Goodbye) Once Upon A Time Is A Great Song And Wonderful Masterpiece By Saga.

  5. A.... J....

    My favorite on this album. Seen em on this tour and got Steve Negus's broken drumstick at the end of the show in Chicago.Great time.

  6. G.... S....

  7. T.... M....

    Very good song it takes me back to a young and simple life

  8. V.... D....

    So much melancholy listening to these soundtracks of my youth. it give the impression of finding a long ago lost living dream. I must still be young then !?

    V.... D....

    Young? Dunno. Pretentious? God, yes...

  9. W.... F....

    Seems like all my favorite bands were Canadian lol. Rush, Saga

    W.... F....

    FM....people mistake them for Rush...more prog rock and electronica....and for 1979...WAY ahead of their time.....https://youtu.be/6SO8x_j-4Iw

  10. K.... N....

    Here I am floats perfectly into Goodbye (ouat) Perfection 👍

  11. M.... M....

    One of my top favourite songs by Saga. The album is quite "commercial" but contains splendid melodies, the production is wonderful, every musician plays so well (Ian Crichton delivers some great guitar solos there), Michael Sadler sings like an angel, and this song ends the LP with such a climax !

    M.... M....

    Go back to Images at Twilight...they peaked early and kept it going...;)

  12. c.... g....

    one of my favorite songs......

    c.... g....

    same here

  13. p.... m....

    let yourself go ....float away with the sound .....amazing

  14. y.... t....

    I love this medley with "Here I am". These progressive hard-rock songs are shining in the album.

  15. g.... f....

    1985 wow,,what a sound ,,what musik,they locks like porn stars.. but.big sound forever.big hit and soo good.

  16. p.... K....

    just.........magic.

  17. H.... ....

    Sounds in the begining as Supertramp, several of there numbers actually do - but more eletronically and less brass

    H.... ....

    Serious question - are you deaf? Supertramp couldn't even DREAM of sounding like Saga: and objectively, there's no similarity whatsoever between the two. NONE.

  18. R.... F....

    Such a vastly underrated band!

  19. B.... ....

    jeder song ein juwel...........best band ever

    B.... ....

    Finde Ich auch!

    B.... ....

    Fantastiche musik .

    B.... ....

    Einfach elefantös BRILLANT 👍👍👍

  20. J.... B....

    Never gets old...

  21. L.... J....

    Epic Song

  22. G.... S....

    SAGA IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM GLAD I TOOK MY CRAZY IDEAS ON THE ROAD.. ALL THE WAY TO CANADA TO MEET THEM !

  23. R.... ....

    Saga at their peak

    R.... ....

    THEY ARE STILL VERY MUCH ACTIVE ..AND AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY ARE BOOKED FOR 80S IN THE SAND IN DR AND CRUISE TO THE EDGE 2020~~~~~~~~

  24. B.... ....

    Excellent introspective song.....

  25. P.... A....

    In case anyone isn't sure, this song is about singer Michael Sadler's father who had passed away.

    P.... A....

    Are you sure it wasn't "Intermission"?

    P.... A....

    @markandsteve
    Correct. He's full of shit, DESPERATE (and failing) to appear clever....

    P.... A....

    Bang on mate 👍
