Once upon a time

I tried to get you off my mind

And I was soon to find

The poem did not rhyme


And when I called your name

So quickly you came

Here you will remain

I was to blame


And as I fall asleep

You're watching over me

And when I start to cry

I know you're by my side

And if I trip and fall 

You're my all in all


So here we go

Fallin' asleep

All I know 

Is you're here with me

Air is thin

And you help me to breathe

Now you're here 

And you'll never leave


Something I forgot 

And I'll never forget again

You love me quite a lot

And I'm sorry for giving in

Once upon a time

You knocked and I let you in

Soon I would find 

How generous you've been


All that's left is a stained yellow shirt

What once was perfect now we don't deserve

Either way when I leave this earth

I know that there's a spot reserved for me

Just a little North of here.


So here we go

Fallin' asleep

All I know 

Is you're here with me

Air is thin

And you help me to breathe

Now you're here 

And you'll never leave


Something I forgot 

And I'll never forget again

You love me quite a lot

And I'm sorry for giving in

Once upon a time

You knocked and I let you in

Soon I would find 

How generous you've been
