Once Upon A Time Lyrics - Montell Jordan

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 Saturday 

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 

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 

Hifuela mijo tell me what happened next 

The next day I was walking to the marketplace 

I passed 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 

So tell me, how did you get outta there? 

Well 

He disguised himself in sheets 

I waited for the guards to fall asleep 

Snuck into the tower, took the keys 

And then I told the girl, stick close to me 

He was in a sword fight 'till the death 

Everyone that watched just held their breath 

And then he ran 

I ran 

Jumped 

I jumped 

Climbed 

Faster and faster and faster 

Guards, stop him, don't let him slip 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 cannot 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
