Montell Jordan – Once Upon A Time

Well here is my story that I tell to you

You may not believe me but I swear it’s true

I escaped to Havana for a getaway

In a tiny club with a cuban band on a Saturday

And that’s when I saw her from across the room

Like something from a movie or a storybook

She had a short dress with curly hair and chocolate skin

That’s how it all began

1 – I remember when she came into my life

And all at once-upon-a-time

Love was in the air

Just like an ocean breeze

And we were dancing to the sweetest melodies

I held her in my arms until she danced into the night

It happened all at once-upon-a-time

Once upon a time

[Girl]Hifuela mijo tell me what happened next

The next day I was walking to the marketplace

I passed by the cathedral so I stopped to pray

I imagined this journey without my friend

And just like an angel she appeared again

But before I could ask her why she had gone

The Padre started yelling that “She’s the one”

And suddenly the Policia were everywhere with chaos in the air

I remember when she had to say goodbye

And all at once-upon-a-time

I could not believe they said she was a thief

And I stood there as they drove her away from me

And what was I to do, now they’ve accused her of a crime

It happened all at once-upon-a-time

I remember when I couldn’t sleep that night

And all at once-upon-a-time

I had to find a way to bring her back to me

So I made a plan of how to set her free

And so tomorrow night, mi amore I will find

It happened all at once-upon-a-time

Once upon a time

[Girl]So tell me, how did you get outta there?

[Girls]He disguised himself in sheets

[MJ]I waited for the guards to fall asleep

[Girls]Snuck into the tower, took the keys

[MJ]And then I told the girl, stick close to me

[Girls]He was in a sword fight ’till the death

[MJ]Everyone that watched just held their breath

[Girls]And then he ran

[MJ]I ran

[Girls]Jumped

[MJ]I jumped

[Girls]Climbed

[MJ]Faster and faster and faster

[Policia]Guards, stop him! Don’t let him get away, Guards!

I remember when she came back in my life

And all at once-upon-a-time

We made our getaway to another time and place

We were riding while the tears rolled down her face

She knows I can not stay so we’ll say our goodbyes tonight

It happened all at once-upon-a-time

I remember when he came into my life

Love was in the air like an ocean breeze

Sweetest melodies

Until she danced into the night

It happened all at once-upon-a-time

Once upon a time
