Sting & Police - Once Upon A Daydream lyrics

rate me

Written by Sting & Andy Summers

Once upon a daydream

I fell in love with you

Once upon a moonbeam

I gave that love to you

Once upon a lifetime

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 place for tenderness

Once her daddy found out

He threw her to the floor

He killed her unborn baby

And kicked me from the door

Once upon a nightmare

I bought myself a gun

I blew her daddy's brains out

Now hell has just begun

Once upon a daydream

Doesn't happen anymore

Once upon a moonbeam

This is no place for sentiment

Once upon a lifetime

A lifetime filled with tears

The boy would pay for his crime

With all his natural years

Once upon a daydream

He'd make you his someday

Once upon a moonbeam

He'd dream his life away

Once upon a daydream

Doesn't happen anymore

Once upon a moonbeam

This is no place for miracles

Once upon a daydream

Once upon a daydream

Once upon a daydream

Once upon a day... dream
