lyrics

Once upon a time in New York City
Once upon your life
The world you wished and hoped for cracks wide open
With just a roll of the dice

From everything to none at all
You were the crutch I never saw
‘Neath the ghost light hiss
Always only yours

I was hoping I could steal a little time
To chew the fat and flush out all the lies
‘Cause once upon a lifetime you were mine

Wasted days maybe but by good fortune
The memories are nice
But ‘neath the ruins of that old back porch swing
You were just killing time

Lost everything yet I absolve
You were the fixer of my flaws
Future gone amiss
Always only yours

I was hoping I could steal a little time
To chew the fat and flush out all the lies
‘Cause once upon a lifetime you were mine

I’ll see you soon I hope my friend
Your soul’s the beacon light that guides us home
Trust me this day is not the end
But the birth of effervescent love that I’ll transmit to my own

I was hoping I could steal a little time
To chew the fat and flush out all the lies
‘Cause once upon a lifetime you were mine
