ONCE UPON A TIME

Once upon a time 
You were the only thing on my mind 
Night and day.. day and night 

I could not rest without thinking of you 
My days were incomplete 
And my nights were too

If I did not hear your voice 
Or speak to you
I could not focus 
Because of my love for you 

Once upon a time
You were all I dreamed of 
My sleep was sweet 
My soul was rested 
That was once upon a time 

Now the night has come 
The day has changed 
But my love for you remains the same 
And you don't even know my name 

O that time would stand still 
And heal all of my ills
For our love has experienced such a crime
And all that remains of you and I 
Is once upon a time.
