Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time
I was the ruler of the world
Once upon a time
I wasn't just a girl

There once was a time
When I told the stars to shine
There once was a time
When I could help the blind

Now there's come a time
When I let you in my heart
Now there's come a time
When you've torn it all apart

I no longer own the world
No, you took that from me
Now I'm just a girl
You took the sparkle out of me

There's no twinkle in my eye
No majesty when I speak
I'm no ruler of the world
You killed that side of me

Once upon a time
I heard the angels sing to me
Once upon a time
You took that away from me
