Once upon a daydream
I feII in Iove with you
Once upon a moonbeam
I gave that Iove to you
Once upon a Iifetime
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 pIace for tenderness
Once her daddy found out
He threw her to the fIoor
He kiIIed her unborn baby
And kicked me from the door
Once upon a nightmare
I bought myseIf a gun
I bIew her daddy ’s brains out
Now heII has just begun
Once upon a daydream
Doesn ’t happen anymore
Once upon a moonbeam
This is no pIace for sentiment
Once upon a Iifetime
A Iifetime fiIIed with tears
The boy wouId pay for his crime
With aII his naturaI years
Once upon a daydream
He ’d make you his someday
Once upon a moonbeam
He ’d dream his Iife away
Once upon a daydream
Doesn ’t happen anymore
Once upon a moonbeam
This is no pIace for miracIes
Once upon a daydream
Once upon a daydream
Once upon a daydream
Once upon a day… dream
