Once upon a time
I thought she could be mine
I couldn't let her go
She had a special glow
She came to me and said
Musicians drive her mad
Took lessons from a friend
Bought an Orange guitar amp
I practiced all the time -
And then I almost got the chords
I started with a rhyme -
And soon I wrote a lot of words
I saw her standing there
She was just everywhere
Once upon a time
I thought she could be mine
I couldn't let her go
She had a special glow
She came to me and said
Musicians drive her mad
Took lessons from a friend
Bought an Orange guitar amp
Skipped work and dinner time -
Yes I worked until late at night
Like poets I drank wine -
To write for her was sheer delight
I saw her standing there
She was just everywhere
Once upon a time
I thought she could be mine
I couldn't let her go
She had a special glow
She came to me and said
Musicians drive her mad
Took lessons from a friend
Bought an Orange guitar amp
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na...
I saw her standing there
She was just everywhere
Softly I closed my eyes
And thought that she's so nice
Once upon a time
I thought she could be mine
I couldn't let her go
She had a special glow
She came to me and said
Musicians drive her mad
Took lessons from a friend
Bought an Orange guitar amp
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na...
I was oh so wrong
Cause when I played her song
She said she likes the amp
But she's in love with her girlfriend
