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
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
Well, I waited for the guards
to fall asleep
And then I told the girl
stick close to me
Everyone that watched
just held their breath
I ran, I jumped
Faster and faster
and faster
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, oh
Oh... oh... oh......
Oh... until she danced
into the night
It happened all
at once upon a time
Once upon a time
