Lo Barre - Once Upon a Time (feat. Hannah Webster) Lyrics

Papa will you tell me a story
The one about a princess and a dream come true
She meets a young man in the valley
With hair so golden and eyes shining blue
They have a house in the forest
And plant an orchard near a river running by
Their lives are filled with endless sunshine
And every morning there's a rainbow in the sky
Once upon a time, helps me fall asleep
Happy ever after, the promise you don't keep
Papa let me tell you a story
About a place so far away from here
A land where bombs are never falling
And little children play with no fear
Where there's no poison in the water
And no one's baby cries with hunger every day
And in the shadows of the forest
Nobody's waiting to carry them away
Once upon a time, helps me fall asleep
Happy ever after, the promise you don't keep
Once upon a wishing well too lonely dark and deep
Happy ever after was the only way to sleep
Papa will you tell me a story
Mama will you tell me a story
Papa will you tell me a story
Mama will you tell me a story
Mama will you tell me a story
I think it's gonna be another sleepless night
The sounds of war are getting nearer
This is a battle that I didn't choose to fight
Have they forgotten we are children
And we're too young to learn hatred and of war
If Papa tells them we are frightened
Will they see nothing is worth killing brothers for
Once upon a time, helps me fall asleep
Happy ever after, the promise you don't keep
Once upon a wishing well too lonely dark and deep
Happy ever after - the only way to sleep
Once upon a time, helps me fall asleep
Happy ever after, the promise you don't keep
Once upon a time when promises were made to keep
Happy ever after, children fall asleep
