When I was just a little boy
I really longed to have a gun
but when I said to my mum
I saw she wouldn't buy me one
But my young mind would not forget
and so I couldn't just give up
that night when all was still and quiet
I went and stole my money box
Oh bloody gun ...
I smashed the pig I bought a gun
my mama said now no more cake ...
for your birthday no cake
when I was just a little boy
my goals were surely well defined
and what I saw was what I got
and I just saw that bloody gun
What a delusion ...
I fell for passion ...
Oh bloody gun ...
I smashed ...Once upon a lifetime
I looked in someone's eyes
And felt the fire burning in my heart
For the very first time
I was scared and young
And had never tasted love
But a woman took my hand
And turn a boy into a man
Once upon a lifetime
And once upon a lifetime
You hold the Queen of Hearts
And if you gamble on a diamond win
The dealin' starts
You stand to lose it all
As the cards begin to fall
And the lesson learned is hard
You're only dealt the Queen of Hearts
Once upon a lifetime
So if you're taking chances, know the chance you take
A Broken heart's have high price to pay
Foolish ways will make fools of the wise
And the best things seldom come along twice
Once upon a lifetime
You know that you've been blessed
When you hold your first born tenderly against your chest
And through the innocence you see
The value of a family
And you feel a special bond
That only comes along
Once upon a lifetime
So if you're taking chances, know the chance you take
A Broken heart's have high price to pay
Foolish ways will make fools of the wise
And the best things seldom come along twice
And people only find love like yours and mine
Once upon a lifetime
