From the recording Folk Singular
A ballad of lost love.
Lyrics
ONCE THERE WAS AN "US"
Greg Trafidlo & Paul Craft
Paul Craft Music, BMI/Little House of Morgansongs,

I've got pictures.
Quite a few
Of the better days, of me and you
Cards and letters, you to me
Show so clearly how it used to be
Chorus:
Once there was an "us"
Once, before it turned to dust
Once upon a dream, things were what they seemed
Once there was an "us"
The same old café, same old booth
(But) now there's me, with the awful truth.
Same old juke box, knows the words
Nothing's new, except the hurt
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
We were younger, with a hunger that could never end
Excited, united, but this is now, that was then
Repeat Chorus (Turnaround last line)
