Once Upon a Time Songtext
von Todrick Hall

Once upon a time
Not so long ago
In this world that we live in
Fairytales of love like the ones we know
Is how hearts were driven
To sail to the end of the earth
Just to rescue the one who their heart beats for
But once upon a times, don′t happen much anymore


What is it Daddy?
You'll have to open it to find out
Well, can I open it now?
Of course not
Christmas is tomorrow
But that′s a whole day away, please
Fine, but just this one
Huh, a necklace
It belonged to your mother
It's really pretty
Do you miss her, Daddy?
Everyday
She would be so proud of you
Goodnight
Daddy, our lullaby
Of course, how could I forget

Sleep, my little princess
Gently close your eyes
Dream your little wishes
And send them to the skies
And if you ever want those little wishes to come true
That twinkling star will grant one wish for you

Sleep, my little princess
Gently close your eyes
Dream your little wishes
And send them to the skies
And if you ever want those little wishes to come true
That twinkling star will grant one wish for you

Once upon a time and a lullaby
There was joy in the young girl
She could see the love in her Daddy's eyes
So content in her own world
And she′d ever may never ever
There′s no other place that she'd rather admit
But every lullaby has got to come to an end


Richard, uh, I′m so sorry I didn't mean to interrupt
I′ll come right back
That's okay, stepmother
You can come in
Thank you, Cinderella
Richard, what I was going to say is
Thank you for making this such a special day for me and my girls
Girls, come here
This is a toast to our marriage
To the holiday
And to a new year and a new life for all of us
Drink up, darling

Happy ever after as we all know
Isn′t always a promise
As the smiles and laughter of evil grows
In the cruel and dishonest
The family that she once had, turned their backs
When they found that the father was gone
And once upon a time it lasted sky and I know

Wipe your eyes and get up
I know this has been a difficult week for you
But it's been a tough week for us all
And it's time to move on
We′re going to be making some changes
Charm and Grace will be moving into your room
And you′ll be staying downstairs in the guestroom
Unless we have guests, obviously
I've fired the housekeepers and you′ll be covering their duties
But Daddy said
Your dad isn't here anymore
Welcome to the real world, Cinderella
This is your life now, so I suggest you get used to it
I hope you′ll adjust well
You probably won't
Come on girls
Dear star
I think you′re the only friend I've got
So I hope you don't mind asking me for a favour
Please take care of my dad
I know he′s lonely up there
And tell him hello from me if you get the chance
Cinderella
Thank you

Cinderella sent to a shooting star
All her hopes and her wishes
But it didn′t seem that they take her far
From a rags to richess

Dear star, I've been wishing on you for over ten years now
And I hope that you haven′t forgotten about me

But once upon a time
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
Once upon a times don't happen much
You′re my only hope
I'm counting on you

Anymore
