Once Upon a Time When I was Young

 Once upon a time when I was young

There were a lot of parties held within my walls,

Every Friday and Saturday night.

Old men playing fiddles, people laughing

Kids bobbing for apples

Babies sleeping on blankets,

All while mom and dad danced the night away

Couples falling in love

And so much more did I see

All underneath my protective roof

I was the place to be, when I was young

Now I am weather-beaten and my roof is caving in

No more parties, no more dancing  

No fiddles playing, no people laughing

They say who wants to party here

In this dilapidated old barn

They have forgotten the good times we once had

Once upon a time when I was young
