Put her hand in mine and said she loved me so;

But that was once upon a time, very long ago.[Bm7-5]

Once upon a hill we sat beneath a willow tree

Counting all the stars and waiting for the dawn

But that was once upon a time [Bm7-5]now the tree is gone.

Bridge:

[Bm7-5]How the breeze r[Bm7-5]uffled through her hair;

How we always laughed as though tomorrow wasn’t there.

We were young and [Bm7-5]didn’t have a care

Where did it [Bm7-5]go?

Once upon a time the world was sweeter than we knew,

Ev’rything was ours how happy we were then!

But somehow once upon a time

[Bm7-5]Never comes a – gain.

[Verse 1]
Gray skies are gonna clear up, put on a happy face;
Brush off the clouds and cheer up, put on a happy face.
Take off that gloomy mask of tragedy it’s not your style
You’ll look so good that you’ll be glad, you decided, to smile
Pick out a pleasant outlook, stick out that noble chin;
Wipe off that full of doubt look, slap on a happy grin

And, Spread sunshine all over the place, put on happy face.

[Interlude]

Gray skies are gonna clear up, put on a happy face;
Brush off the clouds and cheer up, put on a happy face.
And if you’re feeling cross and bickerish, don’t sit and whine
Think of banana splits and licorice, and you’ll feel fine.

I knew a girl so gloomy, she’d never laugh or sing,
She wouldn’t listen too me, now she’s a mean old thing,

So, Spread sunshine all over the place, and put on happy
Put on a happy, put on a happy face
