Lyrics
ONCE UPON A TIME Words & Music
Specielle K
Intro
Hey girl, seems like it was not so long ago that we were together. Just U and me so happy. Once upon a time.
Verse 1
What a fool not to realize. That I was really a lucky guy.
For that I must apologize. The love I gave to U was in disguise.
My heart just fell to recognize. Judge from the pain that's in my eyes. Stupid fantasy had me hypnotized.
Broken promises, I didn't have to lie. We were,
Hook
Sharing, once upon a time.
Always caring, U were one of a kind.
Loving, so much is hard to find.
The only one, for all my lifetime.
Verse 2
U left me girl, swept me like a broom.
Way back in summer the mid of June.
Now I'm staring into these empty rooms.
Closing my eyes I can still smell your perfume.
I reminisce while watching the moon.
I remember together we'd make a wish and soon, love would flow, like a radio tune.
All night long we would break every rule. We were,
(Repeat Hook)
Bridge
OOOO-A mistake I know. I miss U so. I'm down so low.
OOOO-Lost my rainbow. I really love U so.
Please come back, baby. Don't go.
(Repeat Hook & Vamp Until Fade)
Hook(Vamp)
In my mind, once upon a time. U were mine.
One of a kind. I was so blind.
So hard to find. The only one.
