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 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 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 So tell me, how did you get outta there? He disguised himself in sheets Waited for the guards to fall asleep Snuck into the tower, took the keys And then I told the girl, stick close to me He was in a sword fight 'till the d**h Everyone that watched just held their breath And then he ran I ran Jumped I jumped Climbed Faster and faster and faster 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
