Once upon a time ago
I dreamed I was a king
Ruler of both men and beasts
My stories of valor they would sing
Once upon a time ago
I dreamed I was just rich
I could buy anything I wanted
And would never have a reason to bitch
Once upon a time ago
I dreamed I had a genie
More than three wishes he would give
And everyone would just envy me
Once upon a time ago
I dreamed you were the one
You always yearned to see me more
And together we shared much fun
Once upon a time ago
I dreamed you said goodbye
You walked right out the front door
Shedding not a tear from your eye
Once upon a time ago
I dreamed no more dreams
I realized that wishes don’t work
And fantasies are just hapless themes
