Testo
Once upon a time
When you were young
I really wanted to become
Someone you looked up to
Someone to protect you
But we don't always get just what we want
While I was standing on the front
Quickly I discovered
I've always been a lover
And oh, I hope now
You won't hold that against me
Make me your enemy
Once upon a time
When I was young
I really thought I would become
Something of a fighter
And someday I'd take you away
But we never got very far
And I hope now
You won't hold that against me
Make me your enemy
No, I can't vow
To wrestle the clouds above you
But I will always love you
And love isn't what you think it is
No, it's more powerful than lightning
Magical and frightening
Oh, love
That's all I can promise
But it's better than fighting
And far more exciting
Oh, love
Once upon a time
When you were young
I really thought I would become
Someone you looked up to
But I never got very tall
And I hope now
You won't hold that against me
Make me your enemy
No, I can't vow
To wrestle the clouds above you
But I will always love you
And love isn't what you think it is
It's more powerful than lightning
Magical and frightening
Oh, love
That's all I can promise
But it's better than fighting
And far more exciting
Oh, love
Oh, love
More powerful than lightning
Oh, love
Mmm
Magical and frightening
