Lyrics

Once upon a time there was a girl
Who lived in the land of dreams unreal
Hiding from reality
Treated like a stranger
Living in her fantasies
Trapped within their world
Once upon a time
(Once upon a time)
Her hopes had died
(Her hopes had died)
No one there to hear
(No one there to hear)
Her futile cries
(Hear her futile cries)
Living in a house of stone
No one on her side
Family in name alone
No place left to hide
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
(Once upon a time)
(Once upon a time)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Once upon a time)
(Once upon a time)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Once upon a dream
A man will come
And give her everything
She wants and loves
But in the morning she'll awake
To face the room around her
It's just another lonely day
And bitterness surrounds her
Bitterness surrounds her
Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
