Lyrics

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

1 - 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

[Girl] 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

[Girl] so tell me, how did you get outta there?

[Girls] he disguised himself in sheets
[Mj] I waited for the guards to fall asleep
[Girls] snuck into the tower, took the keys
[Mj] and then I told the girl, stick close to me
[Girls] he was in a sword fight 'till the death
[Mj] everyone that watched just held their breath
[Girls] and then he ran
[Mj] I ran
[Girls] jumped
[Mj] I jumped
[Girls] climbed
[Mj] faster and faster and faster

[Policia] guards, stop him! don't let him get 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 can not 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
