Once upon a daydream I fell in love with you Once upon a moonbeam I gave that love to you Once upon a lifetime I know it must be true When the months had turned us I'd have to marry you
Once upon a daydream Doesn't happen anymore Once upon a moonbeam This is no place for tenderness
Once her daddy found out He threw her to the floor He killed her unborn baby And kicked me from the door Once upon a nightmare I bought myself a gun I blew her daddy's brains out Now hell has just begun
Once upon a daydream Doesn't happen anymore Once upon a moonbeam This is no place for sentiment
(Oh) Once upon a lifetime A lifetime filled with tears The boy would pay for his crime With all his natural years Once upon a daydream He'd make you his someday Once upon a moonbeam He'd dream his life away
Once upon a daydream Doesn't happen anymore Once upon a moonbeam This is no place for miracles
Once upon a daydream Once upon a daydream Once upon a daydream Once upon a day Dream
