Once Upon a Time

I remember that morning when the grass was as green as a new promise,

And I was off and free, young and restless, bold and happy go lucky.

 I had a borrowed car, and I felt wanted

And I felt rich

And I felt dressed

And all of a sudden I was possible. 

I had a date with an Air Force boy, and off we went.  

Nothing happened.  Nobody saw me quite the way I saw myself.

 I guess new cars were common then, in the last century.
