Once Upon A Time
Pharao Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once upon a time
On a warm and sunny day
He came in my life
I tell everything he said to me
And he said "Just love me hold your hand"
But I did not understand
He said "I'll love you for your love
But I think that's not enough"

Once upon a time
On a sunny day
In a sunlight
Once upon a time
On a sunny day
When he took my hand

A warm day at the beach
The warm sand under my feet
I let my feelings go
I know I have found love

Once upon a time
On a ............ have gone away
We'll never meet again
I remember what he said to me
And he said "Just love me hold your hand"
But I did not understand




He said "I'll love you for your love
But I think that's not enough"
