Once I had a dream
And this is it
[Verse 1]
Em Esus2 Em Esus2
Once there was a child's dream

And took a step outside
Em Esus2 Em Esus2
Once I knew all the tales
Am
It's time to turn back time
F G
Follow the pale moonlight
Em Esus2 Em Esus2
Once I wished for this night
Am
Faith brought me here
C Dm
It's time to cut the rope and
[Chorus]
Am
Fly to a dream

Far across the sea

All the burdens gone

Open the chest once more
Dark chest of wonders
G F
Seen through the eyes

Of the one with pure heart

Once so long ago

This night will bring him back to me
