Once Upon a Time - Terri Nunn

Daddy said i’d always be his little girl

stories of wonder that he would tell

daddy said our world could be anything

a tower of glory, a street of gold

but daddy would hide from the coming rains

he closed the windows and locked the doors

then he got high to stop the pain

till i didn’t know hi anymore

the man that i remember

he carried me through it all

man that i remember

whatever happened to…

once upon a time

somewhere in our minds

once the dream we knew

it was true, it was true for you

once upon a time

we left so far behind

no one to pull you through

i was lost, and i lost you

maybe it was the sweetness of his youth

made it all so bitter when he grew old

maybe his words never set him free

made all the failures so hard to hold

how long can you hide from the falling rain

before the lies are all that you believe

he flew high above his shame

leaving the words «it's too late for me»

the man that i remember

he loved his life above all

man that i remember

whatever happened to…

once upon a time

somewhere in our minds

once the dream we knew

it was true it was true for you

once upon a time

we left so far behind

no one to lead you through

i was lost and i lost you

there must be a light

there’s gotta be a light out there

(why one will go on)

there must be a light

(while another will turn away)

there’s gotta be light
