%Lyrics: Gordon Lightfoot original lyrics

#Once upon a time I was on my own
#Once upon a time like you've never known
#Once upon a time I would be impressed
#Once upon a time my life would be obsessed
#Once upon a time, once upon a day when
#I was in my prime, once along the way 
#If you want to know my secret don't come runnin' after me
#For I am just a painter passing through in history 

#Yesterday is gone, yesterday's alright
#Yesterday belongs in my dreams at night
#Yesterday is swell, yesterday is great
#Yesterday is strong, remembering can wait
#Once upon a time, once upon a day when
#I was in my prime, once along the way 

#If you want to know an answer I can't turn your life around
#For I am just a painter passing through the underground 

#I was in my stride, always at my game
#Here comes mister cool, along the walk of fame
#I was in demand, always in control
#The world was in my hands, my touch had turn to gold
#Once upon a time, I was in a daze when
#I was in my prime, once along the way 

#If you want to know my secret don't come runnin' after me
#For I am just a painter passing through in history 

#Now that I am old, let me rest a spell
#All that I am told, I can never tell
#Never in my life, never will it pass
#I am still alone, remembering at last
#Once upon a time, once upon a day when
#I was in my prime, once along the way 

#If you want to know an answer I can't turn your life around
#For I am just a painter passing through the underground 

#If you want to know my secret don't come runnin' after me
#For I am just a painter passing through in history
