Once upon a daydream



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 knew 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 her 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
