"Long, Long Ago" is a song dealing with nostalgia, written in 1833 by English composer Thomas Haynes Bayly. Originally called "The Long Ago", its name was apparently changed by the editor Rufus Wilmot Griswold when it was first published, posthumously, in a Philadelphia magazine, along with a collection of other songs and poems by Bayly. The song was well received, and became one of the most popular songs in the United States in 1844.
"Once upon a time" is a stock phrase used to introduce a narrative of past events, typically in fairy tales and folk tales. It has been used in some form since at least 1380 (according to the Oxford English Dictionary) in storytelling in the English language and has opened many oral narratives since 1600. These stories often then end with "and they all lived happily ever after", or, originally, "happily until their deaths".
The phrase is particularly common in fairy tales for younger children, where it is almost always the opening line of a tale. It was commonly used in the original translations of the stories of Charles Perrault as a translation for the French "il était une fois", of Hans Christian Andersen as a translation for the Danish "der var engang", (literally "there was once"), the Brothers Grimm as a translation for the German "es war einmal" (literally "it was once") and Joseph Jacobs in English translations and fairy tales.
The phrase is also frequently used in such oral stories as retellings of myths, fables, folklore and children's literature.
The Jo Stafford recording was released by Capitol Records as catalog number 153. The record first reached the Billboard magazine charts on May 4, 1944 and lasted 12 weeks on the chart, peaking at #6.

"Long, Long Ago" is a song dealing with nostalgia, written in 1833 by English composer Thomas Haynes Bayly. Originally called "The Long Ago", its name was apparently changed by the editor Rufus Wilmot Griswold when it was first published, posthumously, in a Philadelphia magazine, along with a collection of other songs and poems by Bayly. The song was well received, and became one of the most popular songs in the United States in 1844.
(with Nat King Cole) {N}Long long ago {B}Long long ago {B}Long long ago {D}Well they say it was better in oh so many ways {B}Long long ago, long ago {B}They couldn't go to a movie show, listen to the radio, go for a ride in a car {N}And on a very cold and wintery night {N}They couldn't sit and watch a TV fight {B}And when the summer came {B}They will have to take a dame all bundled up to the beach {D}They didn't know a girl could look so cute {D}In a bikini suit {N}Oh how they sing of the good, good old days {B}Long long ago {B}Long long ago {D}They couldn't swing in the good old days {B}Long long ago, long ago {At same time} {N}They couldn't go to a movie show, listen to the radio, go for a ride in a car {D}But they still talk of the good, good old days {N}And on a very cold and wintery night {D}Long long ago {N}They couldn't sit and watch a TV fight {D}Long long ago {N}So when people say to me "nothings like it used to be" {N}I don't believe that it's so {D}They say it was better in so many ways {N}They didn't have so much to brag about {D}Long long ago, long ago {N}Long long ago {B}Long long ago {B}Long long ago
