ONCE UPON A TIME
Liverpool Express Lyrics

Once upon a time, there was a girl
In a time long ago, there existed a young woman

She lived in the land of never-never
She resided in a place where dreams are made

Where everything real is unreal
In this land, the things that represent reality are not true

And only fairy tales come true
Here, only stories featuring magic and enchantment have a chance of becoming real

Something like me and you
Our current situation is similar to this story

But she believed that what she dreamed of could be real
This young lady had faith that her desires could become true

So she strived on to make it come true
She worked hard to turn her hopes into a reality

Fighting odds, not knowing what would come of her
She faced adversities, without a clear idea of how she would find success

Never giving up the hope within her
Despite setbacks, she held on tightly to her aspiration

She carried on and on, because she believed
She persisted with her efforts, motivated by her conviction

That once, once in a time in her lifetime
At some point in her existence, a rare opportunity would present itself

The things so unreal would be real
The elements that seemed impossible before would transform into the actual world

And in the morning, one day when she awoke
One day, upon awakening from her slumber

To find herself surrounded by the same old room
She realized that she was still residing in the same domicile as before

She was disappointed
Her feelings were of dismay

So she dreamed and she dreamed
Thus, she resorted back to fantasizing and imagining

And she dreamed and she dreamed and she dreamed
Repeatedly, she indulged herself in thoughts of what she desired

And she said that fairy tales do come true
She declared her belief that even miracles can occur

'Cause I believe, I believe
She expressed her confidence in her personal outlook

And she kept trying, and she kept right on fighting
She persisted with her rigor and her determination

Till one day she met a man who held her tight
Through her efforts, she finally met a partner who embraced her fondly

And she fell in love
As a result of their interactions, she developed a romantic connection with him

Once upon a time, in the land of never-never
In this fictitious setting where dreams turn into reality

Where all things real are unreal
In this world, the things that reflect life are not valid

There lived a girl who believed
Here, we have a girl who had faith

That all things could be possible
She considered the plausibility of anything

And one day she did awake
One day, she woke up

And found herself somewhere else
She realized that she was located somewhere different

Beside her a brand new face
Next to her was somebody she had not met earlier

Of someone that she loved
And, this was somebody whom she had fallen in love with
