Montell Jordan "Once Upon A Time"
 
 
(Verse 1)
Well, here is my story that I tell to you
You may not believe me but I swear it's true
I escaped to Havana for a getaway
In a tiny club with a cuban band on a Saturday
And that's when I saw her from across the room
Like something from a movie or a storybook
She had a short dress with curly hair and chocolate skin
That's how it all began
 
(Chorus)
I remember when she came into my life
And all at once-upon-a-time
Love was in the air
Like an ocean breeze
And we were dancing to the sweetest melodies
I held her in my arms until she danced into the night
It happened all at once-upon-a-time
Once upon a time
 
Girl: Hifuela mijo, tell me what happened next?
 
(Verse 2)
The next day I was walking to the marketplace
I passed by the cathedral so I stopped to pray
I imagined this journey without my friend
And just like an angel she appeared again
But before I could ask her why she had gone
The Padre started yelling that "She's the one!"
And suddenly the Policia were everywhere with chaos in the air
 
(Chorus)
I remember when she had to say goodbye
And all at once-upon-a-time
I could not believe they said she was a thief
And I stood there as they drove her away from me
And what was I to do, now they've accused her of a crime
It happened all at once-upon-a-time
 
(Chorus)
I remember when I couldn't sleep that night
And all at once-upon-a-time
I had to find a way to bring her back to me
So I made a plan of how to set her free
And so tomorrow night, mi amore I will find
It happened all at once-upon-a-time
<Once upon a time>
 
Girl: So tell me, how did you get out of there?
 
(Story)
MJ: Well...
Girls: He disguised himself in sheets
MJ: I waited for the guards to fall asleep
Girls: Snuck into the tower, took the keys
MJ: And then I told the girl, stick close to me
Girls: He was in a sword fight 'till the death
MJ: Everyone that watched just held their breath
Girls: And then he ran
MJ: I ran
Girls: Jumped
MJ: I jumped
Girls: Climbed
MJ: Faster and faster and faster
<Policia> Guards, stop him! Don't let him get away! Guards!
 
(Chorus)
I remember when she came back in my life
And all at once-upon-a-time
We made our getaway to another time and place
We were riding while the tears rolled down her face
She knows I can not stay so we'll say our goodbyes tonight
It happened all at once-upon-a-time
 
(Chorus)
I remember when he came into my life
Love was in the air like an ocean breeze
Sweetest melodies
Until she danced into the night
It happened all at once-upon-a-time
Once upon a time...
