Lyrics

When circumstance divides us
I always close my eyes
My thoughts retrace the image of your face
Somehow our love survives
Now we're in our prime and it's Once Upon a Time
Paper lanterns hanging in the trees
The photograph is framed
But the feeling's still the same
I'm there for you and you're always there for me
After the hero stumbles
After the lady cries
After the fortress tumbles
Somehow our love survives
Somehow our love survives
Each time we touch each other
The chemistry revives
Each kiss, contains, an energy exchange
Somehow our love survives
Now we're in our prime and it's Once Upon a Time...
Paper lanterns hanging in the trees
The photograph is framed
But the feeling's still the same
I'm there for you and you're always there for me
After the hero stumbles
After the lady cries
After the fortress tumbles
Somehow our love survives
Now we're in our prime and it's Once Upon a Time...
Paper lanterns hanging in the trees
The photograph is framed
But the feeling's still the same
I'm there for you and you're always there for me
After the hero stumbles
After the lady cries
After the fortress tumbles
Somehow our love survives
