Once Upon A Time
Daddy I can't sleep tonight, it's happening again
Voices in the kitchen are shouting
And it's keeping me awake
Is it something I've done wrong?
Maybe it's all my fault
And why is Mummy crying all the time?
Lately I've been dreaming, dreaming of the day
We will come together and be a happy family again
Remember how it used to be, sitting here on my bed
Both of you with stories
When you came to say goodnight;
Once upon a time you must have loved her
And held her in your arms
And told her she's the best thing in your life
And it's so sad, it's so bad
To think that you don't love her anymore, anymore;
Someday when I'm older, will it be the same
To wake up in the morning
And find that everything in life has changed?
Well I never want to see that day
I never want to leave this home
But most of all I never want to hear
You say goodbye;
Once upon a time you must have loved her
And held her in your arms
And told her she's the best thing in your world
And it's so sad, it's so bad
To think that you don't love her anymore, anymore;
To think that you don't love her like before
Once upon a time
