Once Upon A Time

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Once upon a time, there was a girl

She lived in the land of never-never

Where everything real is unreal

And only fairy tales come true

Something like me and you

But she believed that what she dreamed of could be real

So she strived on to make it come true

Fighting odds, not knowing what would come of her

Never giving up the hope within her

She carried on and on, because she believed

That once, once in a time in her lifetime

The things so unreal would be real

And in the morning, one day when she awoke

To find herself surrounded by the same old room

She was disappointed

So she dreamed and she dreamed

And she dreamed and she dreamed and she dreamed

And she said that fairy tales do come true

'Cause I believe, I believe

And she kept trying, and she kept right on fighting

Till one day she met a man who held her tight

And she fell in love

Once upon a time, in the land of never-never

Where all things real are unreal

There lived a girl who believed

That all things could be possible

And one day she did awake

And found herself somewhere else

Beside her a brand new face

Of someone that she loved
