Donna Summer – Once Upon A Time lyrics

(Voice monologue over "Once Upon A Time" instrumental)

Once upon a time, there was a girl
she lived in the land of never-never
where everything real is unreal
and only fairy tales come true
something like me and you

But she believed that what she dreamed of could be real
so she strived on to make it come true
fighting odds, not knowing what would come of her
never giving up the hope within her

She carried on and on, because she believed
that once, once in a time in her lifetime
the things so unreal would be real

And in the morning, one day when she awoke
to find herself surrounded by the same old room
she was disappointed

So she dreamed and she dreamed
and she dreamed and she dreamed and she dreamed
and she said that fairy tales do come true
'cause I believe, I believe

And she kept trying, and she kept right on fighting
till one day she met a man who held her tight
and she fell in love

Once upon a time, in the land of never-never
where all things real are unreal
there lived a girl who believed
that all things could be possible

And one day she did awake
and found herself somewhere else
beside her a brand new face
of someone that she loved
