In a world of wait and see and mediocrity
And fools don't always look like that they ought to be
Where now and then dreams
Fall apart at the seams
I was sad that you lay there
Like a bump in the street
Oh, once upon a lifetime
Somebody special comes along
And once upon a lifetime
Somebody special plays your song
And once upon a lifetime
Somebody special turns your head
And once upon a dream time
Somebody special makes your bed
And once upon a lifetime
That someone says follow me
And once upon a lifetime
Somebody says so stand by me
And you're someone special to me
Well, I never had a "one of a kind" in my canoe
When I dream of the girl
That I would take for me
Peace in the sky
Makes me make up my mind
Made me see
You're the one meant for me
Oh, once upon a lifetime
Somebody special comes along
And once upon a lifetime
Somebody special plays your song
And once upon a lifetime
Somebody special turns your head
And once upon a dreamtime
Somebody special makes your bed
And once upon a lifetime
That someone says follow me
And once upon a lifetime
Somebody special says, "I do"
And you're someone special to me
Once upon a lifetime
Somebody special comes along
And once upon a lifetime
Somebody special plays your song
And once upon a lifetime
Somebody special turns your head
And once upon a dreamtime
Somebody special makes your bed
And once upon a lifetime
That someone says follow me
And once upon a lifetime
That someone says, "bet I do"
And you're someone special to me
Once upon a lifetime
Somebody special comes along
And once upon a lifetime
Somebody special plays your song
