Blake Crawford - Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time
When the world was black and white
I was pushing a broom, visions of you
Put a quarter I made in a jukebox that played
A sweep you off your feet kinda rhyme
Practiced my way through the piles
Once upon a time
You were a painter
And I couldn't tell
If you got all that color from heaven or hell
I sat under your spell, watched a thousand words
Drift slowly by
Started off, once upon a time
You know as well as I do
By the time you get to page 22
Well you ain't got a clue where ya
Been or belong
Lose the plot, you forgot
It was God
That wanted to turn your whole life in to a song
You got a funny way of making things rhyme
Once upon a time
You changed the channel
I grabbed a flannel
and we walked through the fall
Til the leaves were all gone
And the winter was hungry
and the wind took its bites
I thought I was gonna die
But you shoulda seen the sunrise
In her eyes
Once upon a time
You know as well as I do
By the time you leave that long white pew
Well you ain't got a clue where ya
Been or belong
Lose the plot, you forgot
It was God
That wanted to turn your whole life in to a song
You got a funny way of making everything rhyme
Once upon a time
