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 had 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 had 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 yaaaaaeeeee

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 had never seen
I woke up and fell into this dream
Happily ever after just took time
Once upon this broken heart of mine
