Once Upon A Time

Once upon a time, in a land that's gone like drifting smoke, I loved you
And once upon a time, in a land of dreams, far away it seems, you loved me
And once a time, like a fairy king, you ruled my dreams and then you broke my heart
And you sailed away one stormy day, once upon a time

Was it really true, my skies were blue, my sunshine was you, I loved you?
Could it really be, in another way, so far away you love me?
Then there came a time like a curse of gold, your heart went cold
I was banished without crime, and no wishing well, could break the spell, once upon a time

Now the stories that I've heard and read, when I was very young
Always ended happily, that's how the song was sung
Our Prince would win a fair maiden, and he'd never ever fail
Oh, I guess they were only foolish fairy tales

Once upon a time, in a land that's gone like drifting smoke, I loved you
And once upon a time, in a land of dreams, far away it seems, you loved me
Once upon a time you'd wave your wand and I'd respond, with all the love I had
Now our story ends, I remember when, once upon a time

Now the story ends, I remember when, once upon a time
