Do You Remember (Once Upon A Time) 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 SaturdayAnd 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 beganI 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 timeHifuela mijo tell me what happened nextThe 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 airI 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-timeI 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 timeSo tell me, how did you get outta there?He disguised himself in sheets
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 fasterGuards, 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-timeI 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
