Lyrics

Once upon a time she was happy
She gave him all her heart
She planned her future with him by her side
Until death did them part


Jesus loves me this I know for the bible tells me so
But hearts still break and tears still flow
And there but for the Grace of God I go
There but for the Grace of God I go

There's a man who lives across the river
Who seems contented on his own
Nobody knows that his greatest dream
Is one day not to be alone


So I give thanks for the blessings in my life
For all the love that comes to me
For all the gifts that I've been given
Someday may no longer be
