Once there was youth, there was beauty There was dancing in the wind Once there was joy, there was laughter And there was love, so much love That has all gone away It's been taken, it's been stolen Gone away, all gone away All the beauty has been broken Once there was playing in the sun There was sharing and embracing Once there was giving, there was feeling And there was love, so much love That has all gone away It's been taken, it's been stolen Gone away, all gone away All the beauty has been broken Once there was hope and a future There were dreams of things to come Once there was light beyond the shadow And there was love, so much love That has all gone away It's been taken, it's been stolen Gone away, all gone away All the beauty has been broken Gone away, all gone away All the beauty has been broken All the beauty has been broken All the beauty has been broken All the beauty has been broken
