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"
