This is a special song for you shorty

Cause I think you forgot how we started out

And I'm about to take you way back

To our once upon a time

(Once upon a time, oh)

Yeah

(Once upon a time)

Do you remember how we used to look at each other?

(Once upon a time)

Talk to each other, psh I remember



Now it seems to me

You're living in a dream world, fantasy

In love with a nigga that can never be

What I can be

(Ya think ya ballin' now)

But do you recall?

Us bus riding, window shopping at the mall

We were broke as a nigga but we had it all

We had it all

I'm here to remind you of our



1 - Once upon a time, oh

Once upon a time

Once upon a time, say

(Once upon a time)

Oh say

(I remember when)

Once upon a time, oh

(You came into my life)

Once upon a time

(Making love all night)

Once upon a time, oh

(Once upon a time)

As time goes on



Now we made some dough

But separate not together

Like we planned it all

Somehow it all became what is mine's is mine

What's yours is yours

What the hell were we thinking?

If I could read your mind

I'd reach into your heart and soul

To try to find the love that was missing

Left so far behind, so far behind

I'm here to remind you of our



Repeat 1



Take it to the bridge now

Oh, oh, oh

(Once upon a time)

Hold on, hold on baby

And do you remember

Running up your mama's phone bill baby

Didn't wanna hang up for nothing

And it's a quarter to three

Kept on talking for hours

Till we both fell asleep



Once upon a time, oh

(Just think about it, think about it)

Once upon a time

(Whoa)

Once upon a time, oh

(I'm gon take you back right now)

(To the bus pass days)

(Now do you remember?)

Once upon a time

(Standing on the bus stop with me baby)

Once upon a time, oh

(We had no fancy cars and no diamond rings)

Once upon a time

(No credit cards, no bling, bling)
