Once upon a lifetime

I looked in someone's eyes

And felt the fire burning in my heart
B
For the very first time

She was scared and young

So I took her by the hand
E A
And a boy became a man
B E
Once upon a lifetime.
E A
And once upon a lifetime

The dealing starts

You stand to lose it all

As the cards begin to fall

And the lesson learned is hard

You're only dealt the queen of hearts

Once upon a lifetime,

You know that you've been blessed
A E
When you hold your first born tenderly
