Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once upon a time
There was a girl who fell in love
And wanted nothing other
Than to find someone
Who knows
That way that she is
Is natural to them
And nothing
That they cant see
For all posteritiy
This is how it all begins

Once Upon a time
This is how the story begins
Once upon a time
This is how they fell in love

Now fairy tales
They can be real

Just you have to believe
A faith In one another
Will get u through you see
The way that it is
Is natural to them
And nothing that they cant see
For all posterity
This is how it all begins

Once Upon a time
This is how the story begins
Once upon a time
This is how they fell in love
