Lyrics

Once Upon A Time

Verse
Where’s my rainbow?
Where’s my pot of gold?
Where’s my "string" to hold on to
when my heart grows cold

Where’s my "Fairy Godmother"
land of “Once Upon a Time”?
Where is my "Magic Kingdom"
to melt this heart of mine

Chorus
Isn’t it time for a new fairy tale
A simple nursery rhyme
'bout peace and love discovered
Today, not Once Upon
not Once Upon A Time

Verse
Where’s my buried treasure?
Bright stars to wish upon?
Where’s the lamp and the genie
when my dreams have gone

Where’s the "Good Witch Glinda"
come and wave your magic wand
Where is my "Magic Carpet"
come fly me up

Chorus
This is my time for a new fairy tale
A simple nursery rhyme
‘bout peace and love discovered
Today’s my Once Upon
my Once Upon A Time
