lyrics

Once upon a time

Once upon a time

Once upon a time the story goes
Once upon a time the story began
Once upon a time the story went
Once upon a time there lived a man

A man who lived inside of his head
In his head he built his world
In this world was love and hope
A love and hope for a certain girl

But, this girl did not notice
No, this girl did not care
This girl was unaware that
This man had some love to share

So, one day he tried to approach her
One day at the club
One day she might accept
But that day was still to come

This night she declined his offer
This night they danced alone
This night he remembered why
Once upon a time ago

Once upon a time the story goes
Once upon a time the story began
Once upon a time the story went
Once upon a time there lived a man

Once upon a time the story went
Once upon a time the story goes
Once upon a time the story began
Once upon a time there lived a girl

This girl she lived in her head
This girl she made her plan
Her plan for finding love
A love and hope from a special man

One day she declined an offer
The next night she danced alone
She never did find true love, nope
Once upon a time's no more

Once upon a time the story went
Once upon a time the story goes
Once upon a time the story began
Once upon a time there lived a girl

Once upon a time the story goes
Once upon a time the story began
Once upon a time the story went
Once upon a time there lived a man
