Once Upon a Daydream Lyrics

Once upon a moonbeam
This is no place for sentiment

(Oh....)

Once upon a lifetime
A lifetime filled with tears
The boy would pay for his crime
With all his natural years

Once upon a daydream
He'd make you his someday
Once upon a moonbeam
He'd dream his life away


Once upon a daydream
Doesn't happen anymore
Once upon a moonbeam
This is no place for miracles

Once upon a daydream
Once upon a daydream
Once upon a daydream
Once upon a day...
Dream
