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 pa**ed 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 d**h {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
