marvin gaye - once upon a time lyrics

Loading...

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 sat-rday

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 p-ssed 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
