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 know 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, he kicked me from the 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
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
And once upon a moonbeam he dreamed his life away
Once upon a daydream doesn't happen anymore
Once upon a moonbeam, this is no place for miracles
Once upon a daydream, once upon a daydream
Once upon a daydream, once upon a daydream
