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 oc
This is a special song for you shorty
Cause I think you forgot how it started out
And I'm about to take you way back
To our once upon a time
(Once upon a time, oh)
Yeah
(Once upon a time)
Do you remember how we used to look at each other?
(Once upon a time)
Talk to each other, psh I remember
Now it seems to me
You're living in a dream world, fantasy
In love with a n**** that can never be
What I can be
(Ya think ya ballin' now)
But do you recall?
Us bus riding, window shopping at the mall
We were broke as a n**** but we had it all
We had it all
I'm here to remind you of our
1 - Once upon a time, oh
Once upon a time
Once upon a time, oh
(Once upon a time)
Once upon a time, oh
(I remember when)
(You came into my life)
Once upon a time
(Making love all night)
Once upon a time, oh
(Once upon a time)
As time goes on
Now we made some dough
But separate not together
Like we planned it all
So how it all became was
What's mine is mine, what's yours is yours
What the hell were we thinking?
If I could read your mind
I'd reach into your heart and soul
To find the love that was missing
Left so far behind, so far behind
I'm here to remind you of our
Repeat 1
Take it to the bridge now
Oh, oh, oh
I don't think you feel me baby?
Oh, oh, oh
Once upon a time
Hold on, hold on baby
And do you remember?
Running up your mama's phone bill baby
Didn't wanna hang up for nothing
And it's a quarter to three
Kept on talking for hours
Till we both fell asleep
Once upon a time, oh
(Just think about it, think about it)
Once upon a time
(Whoa)
Once upon a time, oh
(I'm gon take you back right now)
(To the bus pass days)
Once upon a time, oh
(Now do you remember?)
Once upon a time
(Standing on the bus stop with me baby)
Once upon a time, oh
(We had no fancy cars and no diamond rings)
(No credit cards, no bling, bling)
ean 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
