Lyrics

Once upon a time, I almost lost my mind

I was lonely, so lonely

Once upon a time

Hoping every day things would go my way

Then you came into my life

Now everything is fine

I never knew what love could do 'til I met you

Now everything is oh, so cozy

Now my skies are blue all because of you

I'm so glad, I was lonely

Once upon a time

I never knew what love could do until I met you

Now everything is oh, so cozy

Now my skies are blue all because of you

I'm so glad, I was lonely

Once upon a time

I was lonely

Once upon a time

Oh, so lonely

Once upon a time

I was lonely
