Terri Nunn - Once Upon A Time lyrics

Daddy said I'd always be his little girl Stories of wonder that he would tell Daddy said our world could be anything A tower of glory, a street of gold But daddy would hide from the coming rains He closed the windows and locked the doors Then he got high to stop the pain Till I didn't know hi anymore The man that I remember He carried me through it all Man that I remember Whatever happened to... Once upon a time Somewhere in our minds Once the dream we knew It was true, it was true for you Once upon a time We left so far behind No one to pull you through I was lost, and I lost you Maybe it was the sweetness of his youth Made it all so bitter when he grew old Maybe his words never set him free Made all the failures so hard to hold How long can you hide from the falling rain Before the lies are all that you believe He flew high above his shame Leaving the words "It's too late for me" The man that I remember He loved his life above all Man that I remember Whatever happened to... Once upon a time Somewhere in our minds Once the dream we knew It was true it was true for you Once upon a time We left so far behind No one to lead you through I was lost and I lost you There must be a light There's gotta be a light out there (why one will go on) There must be a light (while another will turn away) There's gotta be light
