once upon a time (you were a friend of mine)

Singer:barry white

have you ever had a situation

where. where you really wanted something real

real bad?

and as soon as you got it

you. you really didn't know

what to. what to do with it

how to. how to touch it

how to- how to treat it

baby

that's very similar to what i'm- to what i'm going through with you

now that you're here

i'm. i guess i'm so amazed with you here

that i find it hard for me to reach out

and touch you

and hold you

and love you

once upon a time

did you know

that you were a dream of mine?

all my life i've waited

for someone like you

now you're here

and i don't know what to say

or do

i'm so afraid to wake up

and find it's all a lie

i wish i could tell you why

you make me feel so shy

once upon a time

you were a dream of mine

wish i could tell you why

what do you say to an angel

who suddenly appears?

in my dreams it was very

very clear

all that i remember

the way i felt

when i looked in your eyes

i wish i could tell you why

you make me feel so shy

once upon a time

you were a dream of mine

wish i could tell you why

once upon a time

you were a dream of mine

once upon a time

you were a dream of mine

once upon a time

you were a dream of mine

once upon a time

you were a dream of mine

once upon a time. why can't i tell you why

you make me feel so shy

once upon a time

you were a dream of mine

wish i could tell you why

you make me feel so shy

once upon a time

you were a dream of mine

of mine

of mine

ooh why

why do i feel so shy?

once upon a time

you were a dream of mine

oh my

why do i feel so shy?

once upon a time

you were a dream of mine

i don't know why

you make me feel so shy

once upon a time

you were a dream of mine

wish i could tell you why

you make me feel so shy

once upon a time
