Once Upon a Time

Your eyes open like a raindrop filled with unopened dreams.
Soft yet strong, shining like crystal streams.
You are more amazing than I thought anyone could be.
And every smile is as precious as treasure sunk beneath the sea.
You touch my hand and I realize,
As my heart swells with all the love you've given me inside.

That once upon a time,
We find someone who is one of a kind.
Someone who is unique.
And never stops to seek,
The truth at the heart of what is real.
Someone who isn't so afraid of pain they don't want to feel.

A person who would wither if a lie passed their lips.
Who dreams of castles and fairy tale ships.
Who thinks like many of us believe only children can.
And is always ready to take someone's hand.
Who isn't selfish and whose heart is made of gold.
And has all that love can hold.
Once upon a time I found out its true.
They do exist, because I found you.

We walk along the balcony.
You shiver in the wind and draw closer to me.
I can feel your heart beating through my shirt.
You my darling is what gave me worth.
And I hold you tight as if you might be blown away.
Never thought I'd feel this way.

For once upon a time,
We find someone who is one of a kind.
Someone who is unique.
And never stops to seek,
The truth at the heart of what is real.
Someone who isn't so afraid of pain they don't want to feel.

A person who would wither if a lie passed their lips.
Who dreams of castles and fairy tale ships.
Who thinks like many of us believe only children can.
And is always ready to take someone's hand.
Who isn't selfish and whose heart is made of gold.
And has all that love can hold.
Once upon a time I discovered its true.
Because I found someone like you.

Is this real or is it just me?
Is this true or is this all a fantasy?
I never dreamed there was a woman like you.
Your arms are the ones I fell into.
You caught me when I thought no one would.
You loved me when I believed no one could.

For once upon a time,
We find someone who is one of a kind.
Someone who is unique.
And never stops to seek,
The truth at the heart of what is real.
Someone who isn't so afraid of pain they don't want to feel.

A person who would wither if a lie passed their lips.
Who dreams of castles and fairy tale ships.

And is always ready to take someone's hand.
Who isn't selfish and whose heart is made of gold.
And has all that love can hold.
Once upon a time I discovered its true.
Because I found someone like you.

You look up at me and laugh with an inner beauty that takes my breath away.
Like a flawless pearl tossed in the oceans waves.
I hope I can express what I'm longing to say.
That I love you more than life itself.
I will give my all for you, there will never be anyone else.
We have a love others dream about.
And I want to tell you now,

That once upon a time,
We find someone who is one of a kind.
Someone who is unique.
And never stops to seek,
The truth at the heart of what is real.
Someone who isn't so afraid of pain they don't want to feel.

A person who would wither if a lie passed their lips.

Once upon a time I found out its true.
They do exist, because I found you.

Now I know its true.
Because I found you.
