Once upon a lifetime
Fm
I looked in someone's eyes
C# G#
And felt the fire burning in my heart
D#
For the very first time
G# C#
She was scared and young
Fm
And had never tasted love
G# C#
So I took her by the hand
G# C#
And a boy became a man
D# G#
Once upon a lifetime.
G# C#
And once upon a lifetime
Fm
You hold the queen of hearts
C# G#
But if you gamble on a diamond when
D#
The dealing starts
G# C#
You stand to lose it all
Fm
As the cards begin to fall
G# C#
And the lesson learned is hard
G# C#
You're only dealt the queen of hearts
D# G#
Once upon a lifetime,
Chorus:
Fm
So if you take a chance
C# G#
Just know the chance you take
Fm C# G#
D# broken heart's a high price to pay
Fm Cm C#
Foolish ways will make fools of the wise
Fm C# D#
And the best things seldom come along twice.
G# C#
And once upon a lifetime
Fm
You know that you've been blessed
C# G#
When you hold your first born tenderly
D#
Against your chest
G# C#
And through the innocence you see

There you are the family

And you feel a special bond

That only comes along

Once upon a lifetime.

Once upon a lifetime
