Now, once upon a time there was a little boy

who loved the little girl that lived in that

great big white house right next door!

Everyday from his tiny bedroom window

he would watch her

as she come and go

from beneath a candy store

Don't you know that not many years went by

Until that little boy have grown to a full

grown teenage guy with spirit to rhyme

Everyday ,you know,

he'd stand around the hall of school

and wait for her to wink

and smile as she went walking by

And once upon a time a teenage guy

had grown to a handsome man

with such desire to hit his gold in life

and so he's gathered up the courage

and dared to say througout his veins

and asked that pretty girl to be his wife

And let me tell ya

Then she slowly turned to me with tears

in both dark brown eyes

You know

I really think you're sweet

too late now,

'cause I'm promissed to another one who needs me

Yes, I love the boy who lives across the street.

I say, When he slowly turned to me with tears

in both dark brown eyes

You know

I really think you're sweet

too late now,

'cause I'm promissed to another one who needs me

Yes, I love the boy who lives across the street

Once upon a time too late to meet

I still hear her saying

"Once upon a time too late to meet"

Oh..yeah...yeah...

"Once upon a time too late to meet"

I still hear her saying

"Once upon a time too late to meet"
