Once upon a time
A pair of twins was born just fine
Tiny hands in mine
That warmed me to my soul
But that was once upon a time
When they both were whole
|
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 lie
An amputation went awry
Voltage set too high
A spark and then a flame
Since they were booked one at a time
Only one was maimed
|
Once upon a hill
We sat beneath willow tree
Counting all the stars
And waiting for the dawn
But that was Once upon time
Now the tree is gone
|
How we tried
With ribbons in his hair
Raise one as a girl
Ignore the part that isn't there
As they grew they fell into despair
Who could endure
|
How the breeze
Ruffled through her hair
How we always laughed
As if tomorrow wasn't there
We were young and didn't have a care
Where did it go
|
Twice a suicide
The darkness overtakes our lives
Never comes a time
When we can cease to mourn
If we could just rewind the time;
Leave them as they're born.
|
Once upon a time
The world was sweeter than we knew
Everything was ours
How happy we were then
But somehow Once upon time
Never comes again.
