Once Upon A Time

Well here is my story that i tell to you

You may not believe me but i swear it's true

I escaped to havana for a getaway

In a tiny club with a cuban band on a saturday



And that's when i saw her from across the room

Like something from a movie or a storybook

She had a short dress with curly hair and chocolate skin

That's how it all began



1 -	i remember when she came into my life

And all at once-upon-a-time

Love was in the air

Just like an ocean breeze

And we were dancing to the sweetest melodies

I held her in my arms until she danced into the night

It happened all at once-upon-a-time

Once upon a time



[girl]	hifuela mijo tell me what happened next



The next day i was walking to the marketplace

I passed by the cathedral so i stopped to pray

I imagined this journey without my friend

And just like an angel she appeared again

But before i could ask her why she had gone

The padre started yelling that "she's the one"

And suddenly the policia were everywhere with chaos in the air



I remember when she had to say goodbye

And all at once-upon-a-time

I could not believe they said she was a thief

And i stood there as they drove her away from me

And what was i to do, now they've accused her of a crime

It happened all at once-upon-a-time



I remember when i couldn't sleep that night

And all at once-upon-a-time

I had to find a way to bring her back to me

So i made a plan of how to set her free

And so tomorrow night, mi amore i will find

It happened all at once-upon-a-time

Once upon a time



[girl] so tell me, how did you get outta there?



[girls]		he disguised himself in sheets

[mj]		i waited for the guards to fall asleep

[girls] 	snuck into the tower, took the keys

[mj]		and then i told the girl, stick close to me

[girls]		he was in a sword fight 'till the death

[mj]		everyone that watched just held their breath

[girls]		and then he ran

[mj]		i ran

[girls]		jumped

[mj]		i jumped

[girls]		climbed

[mj]		faster and faster and faster



[policia]	guards, stop him! don't let him get away, guards!



I remember when she came back in my life

And all at once-upon-a-time

We made our getaway to another time and place

We were riding while the tears rolled down her face

She knows i can not stay so we'll say our goodbyes tonight

It happened all at once-upon-a-time



I remember when he came into my life

Love was in the air like an ocean breeze

Sweetest melodies

Until she danced into the night

It happened all at once-upon-a-time

Once upon a time
