Allan Wilson - Once Upon a Time Lyrics

Oh once upon a time
There was a girl
Who said she came down from heaven

She lit that fire in my mind
That must have been love
'Cause it felt just like possession

She was all that I was
And all that I believed in
She was all I am

Then she was gone on the night
For she saw him walking by
And he glanced in her direction

In her eyes she could see
He loved her as she loved me
But like ice she melted

And you stood in my doorway
And held out your hand
And you lifted me to standing

And I saw in your eyes
You were more vulnerable than I
So I pulled you towards me

Oh you are my number two
And though you dream of me and you
When I am strong we will be through

Then I'll be gone on the night
When I see her walking by
And she looks in my direction

She took all that she can
And gave it to another man
But I have healing from another

Wading through the blood and tears
We try to hide our fears
By tearing flesh off one another

We live as we will die
Alone wondering why
We leave without one another

We will be gone on the night
When we see him walking by
And he calls in our direction

He'll take all that we have
And we'll fall into the grave
Leaving nothing for any other
