ONCE UPON A TIME

(Written by Jeff Ridler)

Verse

ONCE UPON A TIME

I WAS THE GUY WHO HAD THE GIRL

AND MUCH TO MY SURPRISE

IT WAS LIKE TURNING PAGES

IN THAT AGE OLD STORY BOOK WORLD

Verse

ONCE UPON A TIME

THINGS TURNED OUT LIKE SHOULD

BUT YOU CAN’T GO BACK TO THAT TIME

WHEN YOUR STILL TURNING PAGES

THAT’S WHY THEY TALK ABOUT A BRIDGE THAT’S BURNED

CHORUS

BUT ONCE UPON A TIME

I WAS YOURS AND YOU WERE MINE

LOVE WAS WHY WE LIVED

WE GAVE ALL WE COULD GIVE…..

ONCE UPON A TIME…..

Verse

I HEARD AN OLD MAN SAY

THAT YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT TREASURE IS

UNTIL THE DAY YOU’VE LOST IT

THAT DAY YOU WOULDN’T TRADE IT FOR THE WORLD

Verse

I KNOW HOW THAT FEELS

I FELT THAT LOSING YOU

BUT I GUESS IT’S A GIVEN

THERE’S A HIGH COST OF LIVING

WHEN YOU LOVE AND LOSE

THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD

CHORUS

BUT ONCE UPON A TIME

I WAS YOURS AND YOU WERE MINE

LOVE WAS WHY WE LIVED

WE GAVE ALL WE COULD GIVE…..

ONCE UPON A TIME…..

Verse

THOSE SAME STARS IN THE SKY

THEY SHINE DOWN DIFFERENTLY

THEY SPARKEL IN YOUR EYES FOR ME

CHORUS
