Once upon a broken heart   I was walking alone in the dark   Looking for a way to start again   What I wouldn't give for a friend      There was no love in my life   There was no light in my eyes   All the tears that I had cried and cried   Seemed like they'd never end      And I never believed fairy tales came true   But now I know that they really do   Now that I found you and now that I'm here with you   Just look at the sunshine in you      Showed me a world I'd never seen   I woke up and fell into this dream   Happily ever, after just took time   Once upon this broken heart of mine      Long ago and far away   I could never dream of the day   That your love would come my way and stay   And sweep me away      And I never believed fairy tales came true   But now I know that they really do   Now that I found you and now that I'm here with you   Just look at the sunshine in you      Showed me a world, I'd never seen   I woke up and fell into this dream   Happily ever, after just took time   Once upon this broken heart of mine      This is a way a fairy tale feels   This is the way I know it's real   'Cause this is the way a broken heart heals, yeah      And I never believed fairy tales came true   But now I know that they really do   Now that I found you and now that I'm here with you   Just look at the sunshine in you      Showed me a world I'd never seen   I woke up and fell into this dream   Happily ever, after just took time   Once upon this broken heart of mine
