Once Upon a Time Lyrics

Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
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 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 againBut 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?
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 breathAnd then he ran
I ran
Jumped
I jumped
Climbed
Faster and faster and faster
Guards, stop him, don't let him slip away
GuardsI 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 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
