Lyrics

once upon a time
things were so much easier
life was so sublime
and he was kind and always there

you let him hold you close
just to keep away your ghost
until there was no space between
then with his heart in your hand
you crushed that man
when you said "don't fall in love with me"

it's too late now - fold your hands
it's far too late - don't you understand
you cannot stop what you began
it's too late now julianne

so you lost your stand-in man
no longer waiting in the wings
what happened to your plan
no one to practice close-up scenes

now empty and alone
with no one to walk you home
you picture how he smiled so sweet
maybe he's the one after all
you pick up the phone and call
he answers and you hear him say

it's too late now - fold your hands
it's far too late - don't you understand
you cannot stop what you began
it's too late now julianne

once upon a time
things were so much easier
julianne
