Once upon a time things were normal. Day in Day out You in my life as a friend To my disappointment. Then like a shot in the dark It happened. Turning my world upside down Inside out and I can’t even breathe Without whispering your name. I lost my sense of reality Normal became yesterday Today painful Tomorrow uncertain. Once upon a time things became normal. Day in Day out You in my life as a friend To my complete confusion. Then like a gift from the sky It resurfaced. Melting my heart like a ray from the sun. You by my side, in my arms Without me even trying. I lost myself in your eyes. Yesterday so far behind Today pure bliss Tomorrow assured. Once upon a time things were normal. Day in Day out I’m just a girl with a breaking heart. Save me before I fall again. Written January 1st, 2001 © on Oct 31 2001 06:49 AM PST   0 • 8
