Once upon a time
Back in the day
The sun shone brightly 
And everything was okay
Once upon a time

I look up to the sky
And I often wonder why
The heavens are just out of touch
I miss holding you so much
But I just have to go on
When all hope is gone

Another day I greet with pain
Knowing that I won't see you again
Not in this lifetime anyway
Maybe on the other side I pray
I hold you forever in my heart
As the world around me falls apart

Once upon a time
Many moons ago
I looked into your eyes
And your love it did flow
Once upon a time

Memories are all around 
How I miss your cheery sound
Your funny little ways
And your loving gaze
Your laughter and joy
That captivated this lonely boy

Sitting in the deafening solitude
I take a moment of reflection
Hoping you are looking down
And will guide me in the right direction
Set my tortured spirit free
And lead me to a place of sanctuary  

Once upon a time
It was just you and me
Entwined together forever
As happy as can be  
Once upon a time
