Once Upon a Time
Montell Jordan

Verse 1:
Well here is my story that I tell to you
You may not believe me, but I swear it's true
I escaped to Havana for a getaway
In a tiny club with a Cuban band on a Saturday
An' that's when I saw her from across the room
Like something form a movie or a storybook
She had a short dress with curly hair and chocolate skin
That's how it all began

Chorus 1:
I remember when
She came into my life
And all at once upon a time
Love was in the air
Like an ocean breeze
And we were dancing to the sweetest melody
I held her in my arms until she danced into the night
It happened all at once upon a time
Once upon a time

Verse 2:
The next day I was walking to the market place
I passed by the cathedral, so I stopped to pray
I imagined this journey without my friend
An' just like an angel, she appeared again
But before I could ask her why she had gone
The Padre started yelling that she's the one
Suddenly the policia were everywhere
The chaos in the air

Chorus 2:
I remember when
She had to say goodbye
And all at once upon a time
I could not believe
They said she was a thief
And I stood there as they drug her away from me
An' what was I to do?
Now they accused her of a crime
It happened all at once upon a time
I remember when
I couldn't sleep that night
And all at once upon a time
I had to find a way
To bring her back to me
So I made a plan of how to set her free
An' so tomorrow night
Mi amore I will find
It happened all at once upon a time
Once upon a time

Bridge:
(He disguised himself in sheets)
I waited for the guards to fall asleep
(Snuck into the tower, took the key)
An' then I told the girl, "Stay close to me"
(He was in a sword fight to the death)
Everyone that watched just held their breath
(Then he ran)
I ran
(Jumped)
I jumped
(Climbed)
Faster and faster and faster

Chorus 3:
I remember when
She came back in my life
And all at once upon a time
We made our getaway
To another time and place
We were riding while the tears rolled down her face
She knows I can not stay
So we'll say our goodbyes tonight
It happened all at once upon a time
I remember when he came into my life
Love was in the air like an ocean breeze
Sweetest melodies
Until she danced into the night
It happened all at once upon a time
Once upon a time
