Once upon a time
I tried to get you off my mind
And I was soon to find
The poem did not rhyme

And when I called your name
So quickly you came
Here you will remain
I was to blame

And as I fall asleep
You're watching over me
And when I start to cry
I know you're by my side
And if I trip and fall
You're my all in all

So here we go
Fallin' asleep
All I know
Is you're here with me
Air is thin
And you help me to breathe
Now you're here
And you'll never leave

Something I forgot
And I'll never forget again
You love me quite a lot
And I'm sorry for giving in
Once upon a time
You knocked and I let you in
Soon I would find
How generous you've been

All that's left is a stained yellow shirt
What once was perfect now we don't deserve
Either way when I leave this earth
I know that there's a spot reserved for me
Just a little North of here

So here we go
Fallin' asleep
All I know
Is you're here with me
Air is thin
And you help me to breathe
Now you're here
And you'll never leave

Something I forgot
And I'll never forget again
You love me quite a lot
And I'm sorry for giving in
Once upon a time
You knocked and I let you in
Soon I would find
How generous you've been
