Once upon a time...

Once upon a time
There was a girl
Who lived in the land
Of dreams unreal
Hiding from reality,
Treated like a stranger
Living in her fantasies,
Trapped within their world

Once upon a time
Her hopes had died
No one there to hear
Her futile cries
Living in a house of stone,
No one on her side
Family in name alone,
No place left to hide

Aaahhh.....
Lyrics
Once upon a time...

Once upon a dream
A man will come
And give her everything
She wants and loves
But in the morning
She'll awake
To face the room around her
It's just another lonely day,
And bitterness surrounds her
Bitterness surrounds her

Aaaahhhh...

[Spoken:]
Where am I going? What is the place?
Somebody help me outta here.

Oh I'm walking faster, faster and faster to nowhere
Oh I'm running slower, slower and slower to somewhere
'Cause the city's closing tighter and tighter around me
It's a nightmare, daymare, it's a badmare
No matter which way-mare

[Spoken:]
Seems that there must be some way to get out.
But I just can't find it.

People pushing, hustling, rushing on into the future
Windows open, closing, in a way that they just never used to
Oh there's violence lurking in the alleys
Where no one should dare go
So keep walking faster, faster and faster to nowhere

[Spoken:]
LyricsI gotta get out, somebody...that guy came at me with a gun
The city closing in

Trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere
We're gonna take a little
Trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere
We're gonna take a little
Trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere
We're gonna take a little
Trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere
We're gonna take a little

Children crying, screaming, but no one lets on that they hear them
It's getting louder, louder, surely that someone must hear them
'Cause the city's closing tighter and tighter around me
It's a nightmare, daymare, it's a badmare
No matter which way-mare

[Spoken:]
Help me, I wanna get out.
Cut it out! Stop closing in on me HELP!!!

Trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere
We're gonna take a little
Trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere
We're gonna take a little
Trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere
We're gonna take a little
Trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere
We're gonna take a little
Trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere
We're gonna take a little

On a fairy tale high

Don't you believe that your dreams all come true
The fairy tale world inside can bring it to you
You just have to wish, and you'll take off and fly

On a fairy tale high, fairy tale high
Fairy tale high, fairy tale high

On a fairy tale high

Just look around you, the dark clouds are far
Stand on your tiptoes, and reach for a star
As stardust comes sprinkling, it will brighten your eyes

On a fairy tale high, fairy tale high
Fairy tale high, fairy tale high

Fairy tale high, fairy tale high, fairy tale high

On a fairy tale high, feeling higher and higher
On a fairy tale high, feeling higher and higher
On a fairy tale high, feeling higher and higher
On a fairy tale high, feeling higher and higher
On a fairy tale high, feeling higher and higher

Say that you like me the way I am
Just take some time out to understand
It may not be much, but I do all I can
Say something nice

I'd never do it to one of you
I'd say something nice if it wasn't true
I'd make you feel better when you're feeling blue
I'd say something nice

Say something nice, only once or twice
Say something nice, only once or twice
Say something nice

I wanna hear that I'm beautiful
But you wouldn't say it even if I were
Wearing my diamonds and a coat of fur
You wouldn't say nothin' nice

Tell me you think that my hair's real nice
Don't stand around and just criticize
LyricsCan't you understand that when a person tries
You say something nice

And it's oh so hard, oh so hard
To listen to the words that you say
Oh, say something nice, just once or twice
It wouldn't hurt, don't you see

I wanna hear something nice, say something nice
Say something nice, just once or twice
It don't hurt you at all, say something nice

Say something nice baby, only once or twice
Say something nice
Say something nice baby, only once or twice
Say something nice

Hey don't you hear me, hey don't you hear me
Hey don't you hear me, hey don't you hear me

Say something nice

Say something nice

And it's oh so hard, and it's oh so hard
And I'm dying to hear what I've never heard (fade out)

You parting words still echo clear on the day you left me
If you need me I'll be there, you said you'd always help me

Now l need you, l need you, l need you, l need you
L need you, l need you right now
Now l need you, l need you, l need you, l need you
L need you, l need you right now

L can't seem to satisfy anyone around me
You hold my hand and see me through
All the things that bound me

Now l need you, l need you, l need you, l need you
L need you, l need you right now
Now l need you, l need you, l need you, l need you
L need you, l need you right now

Now l need you, l need you, l need you, l need you
L need you, l need you right now
Now l need you, l need you, l need you, l need you
L need you, l need you right now
Lyrics
I'm calling you now (oh now I need you)
Calling you now (oh how I need you)
Please come to me now
I need you
I need you (oh how l need you)
I need you (oh how I need you)
I need you (oh how I need you)
I need you (oh how I need you)
Oh how I need you, oh how I need you

Having learned to live with you
It's hard to live without you
You always said if I were down,
To cheer me you would be around

Now l need you, l need you, l need you, l need you
L need you, l need you right now
Now l need you, l need you, l need you, l need you
L need you, l need you right now
Now l need you, l need you, l need you, l need you
L need you, l need you right now
Now l need you, l need you, l need you, l need you
L need you, l need you right now

I'm calling you now
(Oh how I need you)
Calling you now
(Oh how I need you)
Please come to me now
(Oh how I need you)
Please come to me now
(Oh how I need you) I need you now
(Oh how I need you)

I'm just a working girl, just earning a living
When the city's waking up, I'm going home

Working the midnight shift
While my friends are all out
They've all gone out dancing
They're out having fun

Working that midnight shift
For that extra little something
The things that are out of my reach
I need so bad

So bad, so bad

Seems like I'm always leaving
When all the others arrive
My body still carries on
But I'm dying inside

Working the midnight shift
LyricsWhile my friends are all out
They've all gone out dancing
They're out having fun

Working that midnight shift
For that extra little something
The things that are out of my reach
I need so bad

I need so bad, need so bad

Midnight shift, midnight shift
Midnight shift, midnight shift
Midnight shift, midnight shift

I'm just a working girl
Just earning a living
When the city's waking up
I'm going home

Working the midnight shift
While my friends are all out
They've all gone out dancing

Midnight shift, midnight shift
Midnight shift, midnight shift
Midnight shift, midnight shift
Midnight shift, midnight shift
Midnight shift, midnight shift
Midnight shift, midnight shift

Queen for a day, queen for a night
Dressed head to toe, so you'd never know it's me, It's me

Ribbons and lace, shoes made of glass
Rouge on my face, off to the dance
To dance

To dance and dance and dance and dance
Queen for a day, queen for a day

Queen for a day, queen for a night
Just time to find the man who could be so right

Queen for a day, ribbons and lace
Shoes made of glass, rouge on my face

To dance and dance and dance and dance
And dance the night away
Gonna dance the night away
Gonna be a queen for a day
Wanna dance the night away
LyricsWhat I'd give to be a queen for a day
Gonna dance and dance and dance
Gonna dance and dance and dance

Queen for a day, queen for a day
Queen for a day, queen for a day

Queen for a day, queen for a night
Just time to find the man who could be
So right, so right

Queen for a day, queen for a night
Ribbons and lace suit me just fine
So fine, so fine

I shall be queen for a day
I shall be queen for a day
Can you make me a queen for a day
Queen for a day

You'll never compete with the others!
Why, look at the way you're dressed!
Come on now, get yourself together!

Baby if you got it
You have got to flaunt it now
Baby if you flaunt it
You can make them want it now baby
Yes, I got it
And I'm gonna flaunt it now

You've gotta get out of my way right now
Step aside all you leeches
I've got a trick and I'll show you how

[Spoken:]
Anyways, I'll teach you a trick or two

A man like you, a man like you
Could be my new beginning
And get me on the winning side of life
If I had you, a man like you
All the fairy tales I dreamed about
Just a breath ago would all come true

If I had you baby
If I had a man like you

A man like you baby, just like you
I'd share all of the precious things
That I've been saving deep within my soul
Well a man like you, and baby
A little ol' sweet girl like me
The two of us together
Ride the waves forever and we'll be home free

Well don't you feel it, yeah
I need a man like you
And all I want is to know
I need you by my side yeah
And I want to protect you baby
From all things in life
Well I do, yeah

Oh, what I wouldn't do for a man like you

A man like you, a man like you

Father dear, don't you hear me
I'm alone, and I can't sleep from crying
Father dear, well if you hear me
I've been held closely by a stranger

Sweet romance
The moment that my eyes first saw him
In a glance
I knew right from the start that I adored him
Sweet romance
I may never see the man again, so help me find him
So help me find him

Listen, if you find him
Won't you tell him just how much I love him
Father, I've only got you
Please, won't you make him love me too

Sweet romance
The moment that my eyes first saw him
In a glance
LyricsI knew right from the start that I adored him
Sweet romance
I may never see the man again, so help me find him
So help me find him

Oh, oh, oh
Sweet, sweet

Sweet romance
The moment that my eyes first saw him
In a glance
I knew right from the start that I adored him
Sweet romance
I may never see the man again, so help me find him
So help me find him

Father, hear me calling
You're the only one I can turn to
My life has been so empty
And he could fill my emptiness too

Sweet romance
The moment that my eyes first saw him
In a glance
I knew right from the start that I adored him
Sweet romance
I may never see the man again, so help me find him
Help me, help me

[Instrumental]

Dance into my life, only for a while
Whirl me round and round
Dance me like an angel child
He's passing through my world
He doesn't even know
Time's not on my side
No word or goodbye, I'll go

So dance on, right now I want to dance on
Until the moment's over
And I'll be going home
(I'll be going home)
Just dance on, right now
I want to dance on
I can't let him notice the tears in my eyes
In my eyes, in my eyes

Dance into my life
Hold the moment fast
Make believe in us
Nothing real in life can last dance within my life
LyricsDance me to the door
I can't see the time, but the time has come for sure

So dance on, right now I want to dance on
Until the moment's over
And I'll be going home
(I'll be going home)
Just dance on, right now
I want to dance on
I can't let him notice the tears in my eyes
In my eyes, in my eyes

Dance with me, dance with me
Won't you dance with me
Dance with me, dance with me
Won't you dance with me

So dance on, right now
I want to dance on
Until the moment's over
And I'll be going home
(I'll be going home)
So dance on, right now
I want to dance on
Until the moment's over
And I'll be going home

There's a rumour, there's a rumour
Rumour has it

Rumour has it all around the town
Someone's looking for a girl like me
Where can she be found
I hope it's who I think it is
I wonder if it's really him
It's got to be the man I love
No one else but him

Rumour has it

They say he's gonna make this girl his everything
He's gonna love her and surround her
With all those beautiful things
It was the most wonderful moment in my life I had
My life ended on that evening
I lost him, Lord it hurt so bad

Rumour has it
Lyrics
You never know just what you've wont until you've lost
And the object of the game is not to pay the cost
Anyone can play the game, there are no rules
And you never know just what you've won until you lose

There's a rumour, there's a rumour
Rumour has it
There's a rumour, there's a rumour
Rumour has it, rumour has it
There's a rumour, there's a rumour
Such a rumour

I know he's gonna find me
I know this was meant to be
Well you can change a lot of things in your life
But not your destiny
And when you find the best thing in life has come to you
Hold it in your hand real tight or it may slip through

There's a rumour, there's a rumour

You never know just what you've won until you've lost
And the object of the game is not to pay the cost
Anyone can play the game, there are no rules
And you never know just what you've won until you lose
And you never know just what you've won until you lose

There's a rumour, there's a rumour
Rumour has it
There's a rumour, there's a rumour
Rumour has it, rumour has it
There's a rumour, there's a rumour

Well he searched and searched for nights and days
Till he found the one he loved
And he wrapped her in his arms again
And then he thanked the stars above
That he found what he'd been looking for
And he stared her in the eyes

He said "I love you"
He said "I love you"
Love you, love you

She stared him right back in the eyes
With a look of disbelief
Then she gazed off into somewhere else
Was it real or just a dream?
And she pulled him, oh so close to her
And she whispered in his ear

She said "I love you"
She said "I love you too"
Love you, love you, love you
Lyrics
So together they will always be
Until the stars fall from the sky

They said "I love you"
Yes, I really do
They said "I love you"
Yes, I do
I do, I do, I do, I do

So together they will always be
Until the stars fall from the sky
So if you find someone you love a lot
You must never let them go
You just hold them tight with all your might
And you say three little words

You say "I love you"
You say "I love you"
You say "I love you"
You say "I love you"

Happily ever after
Look at me, right where I wanna be
My life took a turn, it's a happy affair
I'm never alone even when he's not there
Happily ever after, happily ever after

Happily ever after
So carefree, look what's come over me
All my prayers have been answered, he heard my cry
Took all my troubles and threw them aside
Threw them aside
Happily ever after, happily ever after

Once in a lifetime!

I never thought I could be
So carefree, so carefree
Happily ever after

Happily ever after
Him and me, sunshine and laughter
LyricsWe're never alone, when there's nobody there
We're never alone, we got love to share
Lots of love, happily ever after
Lost of love, happily ever after
We've got love, happily ever after

Lots of love, happily ever after
Just look at me, right where I wanna be

Happily ever after

[Instrumental]
