Once Was A Time I Thought

Once Was a Time I Thought - The Mamas/The Papas

Written by：John Phillips

Once was a time I thought that

Love could be sold or bought

And everything fell in place for me

The fashion of passion I rationed with caution

Because of the notion the potion of passion

Had never been passed to me

But since it was sunday and sunny I went for a stroll

But peanuts and pigeons and people put me in a hole

A blessing refreshing in you did unfold

Dispelling depressing distressing thoughts from my soul

Once was a time I thought that

Love could be sold or bought

And everything fell in place for me

The fashion of passion I rationed with caution

Because of the notion the potion of passion

Had never been passed to me

But now with you by my side

I find that I feel so satisfied

Somebody must have lied to me
