Once Upon A Time (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

Mother, I’m tired
Come surrender my son
Time has ravaged on my soul
No plans to leave, but still I go
Falling with the leaves
Falling out of sleep
To the last goodbyes
Who cares why?

Mother, I’ve tried
Wasting my life
I haven’t given up, I lie
To make you so proud in my eyes
Falling out of sleep
Crawling over me
To the last goodbyes
Who cares why?

Tuesday’s come and gone
Restless, still I drive
Try to leave it all behind
Falling, falling out of sleep
Falling, falling with the leaves
I go crawling, crawling over me

Once upon a time in my life
Once upon a time in my life
Once upon a time in my life
Once upon a time in my life
I went falling
I went falling

Mother, I hope you know
That I miss you so
Time has ravaged on my soul
To wipe a mother’s tears grown cold

And you
Yes you speak to me tonight
And you say so, say so
That once upon a time
When love, love was a white dove
And hope, long live hope, could spin the whole world ‘round

I’m talking east to west
I’m talking lost and found
Get up to the mountain top
I’m going to drop unto the ground

That’s once upon a time
You raise me up when i know you’re around
But god only knows, what god only knows
You lift me up and you spin me around
God only knows, but god only knows

That’s time
Time looked around herself
Time got excited
That’s when we all got started

Still i hear you, yes still you speak to me tonight
You say then how come out of love, is all this cruelty arising?
Well i said, look, well will you look at you, you’re frightened
I see that you smile through weariness
But there is not much else enlightened
Well, that’s a question down to time

You life me up when i know you’re around
God only knows, god only knows
Still you raise me up when i know you’re around
God only knows, god only knows
That’s time

The hour’s late and the lights are low
I’m walking home just kicking stones
I waited at the deopt you never showed
You missed the last bus hours ago
I remember the first time
I saw you on the street
You looked so pretty my heart skipped a beat
I can’t wait any longer but i still feel the heat
I’m down but i’m still on my feet

I walked on down the old fairground
Up from the docks blew a lonely sound

I sat for a while on the cold hard ground
Watched the stars slowly turn as the earth spun around
As the past falls behind up ahead there’s a crack
Of light shining bright through the night so black
Like a runaway train rolling down the track
From here there’s no turning back

Listen to me baby
Once upon a time
My heart was an ocean
You swam against the tide
The time is past for grieving
My tears have all run dry
I’ll leave you with my love
And now i say goodbye

The bottles broke the glasses are cracked
The cards are all dealt and the chips have been stacked
The lamp shades busted and the curtains are torn
The door keeps knocking but there’s nobody home
I stood by the road brushed a tear from my eye
Cursed the cars and the rain and the rolling grey sky
I turned around turned my back on that town
And i never looked back again

Once Upon A Time (Letra)

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

Oh, thank you frank

But clue number three:

Ahhhhhhhh you’re a sofa!

Once upon a time
Way back a long time ago,
When the universe consisted of nothing more elaborate than
Mark volman …

Thank you, frank

… trying to convince each and every member
Of this extremely hip audience here tonight,
That he was nothing more, nothing less
Than a fat maroon sofa,
Suspended in the midst of a great emptiness
A light shined down from heaven (* twinkling sounds *)

And there he was ladies and gentleman, the good lord
And he took, he took a look at the sofa,
And he said to himself
"quite an attractive sofa"
"this sofa could be commercial"

With a few more margaritas and the right company

However, i digress
"what this sofa needs" said the big ‘g’

"is a bit of flooring underneath of it"
And so in order to make this construction project possible,
He summoned the assistance of the celestial corp of engineers,
And, by means of a cute little song in the german language
(which is the way he talks whenever it’s heavy business)
The good lord went something like this:
(take it away jim pons!)

Gib zu mir etwas fussbodenbelag
Unter diesen fetten fliessenden sofa

Everybody!

Gib zu mir etwas fussbodenbelag
Unter diesen fetten fliessenden sofa

And of course ladies and gentlemen that means:
"give unto me a bit of flooring under this fat floating sofa"
And sure enough boards of oak appeared throughout the emptiness
As far as vision permits,
Stretching all the way from belfast to bogner regis
And the lord put aside his huge cigar
And proceeded to deliver unto the charming maroonish sofa
The bulk of his message
With the assistance of a small electric clarinet
And it went something like this…

Take it away jim pons!

Gib zu mir etwas fussbodenbelag
Unter diesen fetten fliessenden sofa

Everybody!

Gib zu mir etwas fussbodenbelag
Unter diesen fetten fliessenden sofa

And of course ladies and gentlemen, that means:
Give unto me a bit of flooring under this fat floating sofa

And sure enough boards of oak appeared throughout the emptiness as far as vision permits, stretching all the way from belfast to bagner regious and the lord put aside his huge cigar and proceeded to deliver unto the charming maroonish sofa the bulk of his message with the assistance of a small electric clarinet and he went something like… this:

Once upon a time
A girl with moonlight in her eyes
Put her hand in mine
And said she loved me so
But that was once upon a time
Very long ago

Once upon a hill
We sat beneath a willow tree
Counting all the stars and waiting for the dawn
But that was once upon a time
Now the tree is gone

How the breeze ruffled through her hair
How we always laughed as though tomorrow wasn’t there
We were young and didn’t have a care
Where did it go

Once upon a time
The world was sweeter than we knew
Everything was ours
How happy we were then
But somehow once upon a time
Never comes again

Once upon a time
Never comes again

Meeting you in the park and talking in the pouring rain
(oh what a time we had)
Running home in the dark and pretending it was all a game
(oh what a time)
Those were the days, those were the days

Memories of you have really left a scar
And all that i can do now is to love you from afar
‘cos everything was fine
That once upon a time

Asking you if you’d stay, not believing that you might
(oh what a time we had)
Missing you through the day, dreaming of you through the night
(oh what a time)
Those were the days, those were the days

Though there’s no denying that you’re nowhere around
I can’t help myself from looking for your face amongst the crowd
‘cos everything was fine, that once upon a time

Have to leave the past behind me and get on the right track
Though there’s nothing i can say that will ever bring you back
But everything was fine, that once upon a time

I wish i knew for how much longer this misery will last
Can’t control these feelings, i’m still living in the past
‘cos everything was fine, that once upon a time
I’ve got to build my life again, try to find somebody new
But i know inside my heart of hearts there’ll be no replacing you
But everything was fine, that once upon a time

(dusty springfield)

When you passed my way
It seemed my lucky day
The world was oh-so fine
Once upon a time

We walked for a little while
You smiled that special smile
And when we said goodnight
You held me oh-so tight

Then you found someone new
And i spent my nights alone
‘cause now we’re through
There’s nothing i can do
I gotta say forget
Forget him, forget him
‘cause he’s no good, no, no

Now, when you pass my way
I guess i’ll smile and say
To think that boy was mine
Once upon a time

To think that boy was mine
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
Woh, oh, once upon a time
No, no, no, no, no, once upon a time

Once upon a time
There was a girl
Who lived in the land
Of dreams unreal
Hiding from reality
Treated like a stranger
Living in her fantasies
Trapped within their world

Once upon a time
Her hopes had died
No one there to hear
Her futile cries
Living in a house of stone
No one on her side
Family in name alone
No place left to hide
Aah!

Once upon a time
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
Once upon a time

Once upon a dream
A man will come
And give her everything
She wants and loves
But in the morning
She’ll awake
To face the room around her
It’s just another lonely day,
And bitterness surrounds her
Bitterness surrounds her
Aah!

Every morning you wake up alone
And you shake up your soul
But nothing stirs
So you take the love of whoever
You please
But you can’t find no reason
For giving yours.

‘cause, once upon a time
You held a love so strong and fine
That all the others simply don’t compare
She’s always on your mind
But once upon a time
You had her there.

Drive into town ‘most every night
On the chance that there might be someone
Waiting for you
You tell yourself you’ll
Give it your best
Maybe settle for less
But you never do.

‘cause, once upon a time
You held a love so strong and fine
That all the others simply don’t compare
She’s always on your mind
But once upon a time
You had her there.

Every morning you wake up alone
And you shake up your soul
But nothing stirs
So you take the love of whoever
You please
But you can’t find no reason
For giving yours.

‘cause, once upon a time
You held a love so strong and fine
That all the others simply don’t compare
She’s always on your mind
But once upon a time
You had her there.

Once upon a time, everything i thought of
Somehow seemed to rhyme
The wise were always old
And the young were always showed
But very early on, i was spun a different hand
Tried to get along, just by knowin right from wrong

The best offer is a helping hand
Everyone needs the promised land
And whether you’re young or old
Never ever let yourself get put on hold

I would sit on grandps’s knee..just to wear his hat
And listen to the tales
From his world of make believe..
As the child comes of age, leave him alone
To turn the page

Luck is the spine..a broken promise of another’s mind
Straight goods really are what money cannot buy
Choose your side, and walk with pride
There’s no reward for suicide…

Once upon a time I almost lost my mind

I was lonely, so lonely

Once upon a time

Hoping every day things would go my way

Then you came into my life

Now everything is fine

I never knew what love could do till I met you

Now everything is oh so cozy

Now my skies are blue all because of you

I’m so glad; I was lonely

Once upon a time

Buy brown besoms buy them when they’re new
Buy broom bessoms better never grew

Once upon a time we had a lead to follow
Well respected me used to show the way
Folks would follow on ‘cause they believed the promise
Well respected men would never betray
Now look around it’s hard to see integrity
You ask for direction and they don’t know
Once upon a time the sun shine brightly
But once upon a time was a long time ago

Once upon a time we build a revolution
Big steel wheel roll around the world
Tin ships sailed and whaled and delivered
All the food necessary for the boys and girls
Then one day came a man with a mission
To take away everything they know
Once upon a time was a land for heroes
But once upon a time was a long time ago

Once upon a time things were so simple
You did a day’s work you got a day’s pay
It didn’t come to much but it kept a wife and children
Burned in the lantern that light the way
Now all’s left is the story of a memory
The real thing fades with a dying glow
Once upon a time was a land of plenty
But once upon a time was a long time ago
