Do You Remember (Once Upon a Time)

Well, here is my story that I tell to you

You may not believe me, but I swear it's true

I escaped to Havana for a getaway

In a tiny club with a Cuban band on a Saturday

And that's when I saw her from across the room

Like something from a movie or a storybook

She had a short dress with curly hair and chocolate skin

That's how it all began

I remember when she came into my life

And all at once upon a time

Love was in the air, just like an ocean breeze

And we were dancing to the sweetest melodies

I held her in my arms until she danced into the night

It happened all at once upon a time

Once upon a time

Once upon a time

Híjole mijo, tell me what happened next

The next day, I was walking to the marketplace

I passed by the cathedral, so I stopped to pray

I imagined this journey without my friend

And just like an angel, she appeared again

But before I could ask her why she had gone

The Padre started yelling that, "She's the one"

And suddenly, the policía were everywhere

With chaos in the air

I remember when she had to say goodbye

And all at once upon a time

I could not believe they said she was a thief

And I stood there as they drove her away from me

And what was I to do, now they've accused her of a crime

It happened all at once upon a time

I remember when I couldn't sleep that night

And all at once upon a time

I had to find a way to bring her back to me

Had to find a way, bring her back to me

So I made a plan of how to set her free

And so tomorrow night, mi amore, I will find

It happened all at once upon a time

Once upon a time

So tell me, how did you get outta there?

Well

He disguised himself in sheets

I waited for the guards to fall asleep

Snuck into the tower, took the keys

And then I told the girl, "Stick close to me"

He was in a sword fight till the death

Everyone that watched just held their breath

And then he ran

I ran

Jumped

I jumped

Climbed

Faster and faster and faster

Guards, stop him! Don't let him get away, guards!

I remember when she came back in my life

And all at once upon a time

We made our getaway to another time and place

We were riding while the tears rolled down her face

She knows I cannot stay, so we'll say our goodbyes tonight

It happened all at once upon a time

I remember when, came into my life

Love was in the air like an ocean breeze

Sweetest melodies

Until she danced into the night

It happened all at once upon a time

Once upon a time
