How quickly we forget what once was
Nothing remains
It was all “once upon a time”
Love is capricious, it comes and goes
Appears like a dream then fades away
How quickly we forget what once was
Nothing remains
It was all “once upon a time”.
Everything in life dies away like a song
Fades and flees
With good-bye.
From the 1930 film, Abschied (Farewell) dir. By Robert Siodmak
