Once Upon a Time Songtext
von 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
