Song by Lucie Arnaz<br /><br>

Alex-<br>

<br>

Once upon a time a little girl used to climb the grassy hills, <br>

used to hunt the forest through. <br>

She'd boss around her brothers and she'd tell them what to do- <br>

her future all planned out, within an inch, without a doubt. <br>

One perfect house, two perfect cars...<br>

she asked the moon, she wished on stars. <br>

Once upon a time, that girl was me...<br>

<br>

Sukie-<br>

<br>

Once upon a time a little girl used to laze about the lake, <br>

used to swim in it at dawn with all her closest girlfriends- <br>

not a stitch of clothing on. <br>

They imagined when alone how they might change when they were grown. <br>

Yet when the stars would fill the glen, she wished to stay as she was then. <br>

Once upon a time, that girl was me...<br>

<br>

Jane-<br>

<br>

Once upon a time a little girl used to dream about romance- <br>

used to dance the evening through. <br>

She'd laugh and toss her hair back like the movie stars would do. <br>

At school though, she would die each time a boy would catch her eye. <br>

The ones who smoked...who played guitars...<br>

<br>

Alex and Sukie-<br>

<br>

Once...<br>

<br>

Jane-<br>

<br>

Who pledged their love...<br>

<br>

Alex and Sukie-<br>

<br>

Upon a time..<br>

<br>

Jane-<br>

<br>

Beneath the stars...<br>

<br>

Alex and Sukie-<br>

<br>

Upon a..<br>

<br>

All-<br>

<br>

Once upon a time, that girl was me. <br>

And everything I am is because of who she was- <br>

and though it may not seem to be, she's with me still..<br>

<br>

Jane-<br>

<br>

The girl who'd see the boys and run<br>

<br>

Sukie-<br>

<br>

Swimming circles in the sun<br>

<br>

Alex-<br>

<br>

Who raced her brothers up the hill<br>

<br>

All-<br>

<br>

That little girl...I close my eyes and there she is, <br>

beneath the wrinkles and the scars. <br>

I'm still that little girl wishing blindly on the stars....<br>

<br>

I wish I may, I wish I might feel the joy I feel tonight forever- <br>

one perfect moment to hold with me still, I wish I may...I say I will<br>

<br>

I'll ask the moon before I sleep, <br>

let this night be mine to keep for always. <br>

This was the moment the magic began, <br>

I wish I may, I wish I may, I wish I may- I say I can<br>

<br>

Darryl-<br>

<br>

Look at these three: bursting with power, barely contained, <br>

growing stronger by the hour. <br>

I've seen my share of wonders, you'd agree- <br>

but nevertheless, there's not anything <br>

I'll ever see that could scarce compare to the ecstasy, <br>

the artistry, the mystery of these three little ladies...<br>

<br>

Glad to see you all dressed for the occasion, ladies.<br>

<br>

Jane-<br>

<br>

This is delicious!<br>

<br>

Darryl-<br>

<br>

Napoleon brandy<br>

<br>

Alex-<br>

<br>

A man of great taste- and tremendous appetite<br>

<br>

Sukie-<br>

<br>

What are we drinking to?<br>

<br>

Darryl-<br>

<br>

Our fondest wishes!<br>

<br>

Alex-<br>

<br>

And the means to making them all come true<br>

<br>

Jane-<br>

<br>

Yes; teach us Darryl. Teach us everything.<br>

<br>

Darryl-<br>

<br>

Close your eyes, breathe deep and focus. <br>

It's surrender more than trying, send your spirits off and flying...<br>

<br>

Witches-<br>

<br>

Let it, let it fly...<br>

<br>

Darryl-<br>

<br>

"Concentration"- thats the byword. Send your spirits soaring skyward...<br>

<br>

Witches-<br>

<br>

Soaring, soaring high...<br>

<br>

Darryl-<br>

<br>

Deep within the night, or deep inside of you? <br>

Why consult the moon, my dears, when anything you want, <br>

you've but to do? Just let it come..<br>

<br>

Witches-<br>

<br>

Let it...<br>

<br>

Darryl-<br>

<br>

Let it grow!<br>

<br>

Witches-<br>

<br>

Let it...<br>

<br>

Darryl-<br>

<br>

Let it loose<br>

<br>

Witches-<br>

<br>

Let it...<br>

<br>

Darryl-<br>

<br>

Let it go<br>

<br>

Witches-<br>

<br>

Let it...let it....aaaah!<br>

<br>

Darryl-<br>

<br>

Once upon a time a little girl looked to the sky and dreamed <br>

the dream all children dream- and wished that she could fly.<br>

<br>

Sukie-<br>

<br>

I never dreamt that....<br>

<br>

Darryl-<br>

<br>

Ladies, your wish has finally been granted (they fly)<br>

<br>

Three little ladies, how truly rare- where most men come up empty, <br>

I've grown a pair. <br>

With one to spare! <br>

As singular a trio as ever there was- so beautiful, <br>

spirited, devil may care.....and he does!<br>

<br>

Witches-<br>

<br>

I wish I may<br>

<br>

Darryl-<br>

<br>

My three little ladies<br>

<br>

Witches-<br>

<br>

I wish I may<br>

<br>

Darryl-<br>

<br>

Do you see, little ladies?<br>

<br>

Witches-<br>

<br>

I wish I may<br>

<br>

Darryl-<br>

<br>

Anything I say<br>

<br>

Witches-<br>

<br>

I..<br>

<br>

Darryl-<br>

<br>

You...<br>

<br>

All-<br>

<br>

Will!<br>

<br>
