Barry White - Once Upon A Time (You Were A Friend Of Mine) Lyrics
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
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
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

I’ve been playing music over 30yrs ,,but I never heard this 1 till my Xpartner played this ?
And I fell in love with him? and Barry ? I was confused in who I was in love with , as I needed to play Barry consistently
And couldn’t make love without Barry. Even in the bed I have 2 play Barry 2 make me sleep ?
HE iS MY LIFE .... practice what u preach ....his albums are so expensive as his first albums u can’t get .
1963 .. once upon a time ... I’m so blue .legend

maestro siempre te recordaremos
This man wrote songs full of meaning and romance, Barry you are very sadly missed by us all, pure master of soul.
THE GREATEST ! TIME HAS PROVEN IT !!!!!
Amazing!
Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Back when I was in college in the early 80's I had a crush on a young lady and I could never get the courage to approach her and let her know how i felt. This song was out about that time. It still reminds me of her.
MEETOO !
Revisiting Two years later. Still the same feeling
DJ premier is a genius, he made a beat with just two to three seconds of a sample
808MixMaster it’s really not that hard
dirty game cormega sample at 1:39 - 1:42
and 1:09 - 1:11
anythingwatsoever damn you must of knew I came here for that. And yes he is a very well talented producer. Ever since I heard mad is like and he was prolly out way before that. I knew dude was a force to be reckoned with.
Barry fort ever
I keep hearing once upon a time, you were a " dream " of mine. I'm missing the " friend " of mine. One of my all time Barry White songs!!! After 40 yrs of listening, I'm sticking with the " dream " !! :)
WONDERFUL WORDS !
It is "dream," I guess Barry was alluding to a so called woman that he saw as more than a friend but that's eventually what she came to be. Who knows why the actual title says friend? Nonetheless it's still a great ass song. 🌹
IT IS DREAM SHE WAS SOMEONE HE SAW DREAMED ABOUT HER BUT NOW THEY HOOKED UP THAT'S WHY HE FELT SO SHY. CAUSE HE WAS AWAJJEM
HE IS SAYING " DREAM" BARRY I FEEL YOU EXPRESSING THE THINGS ALL OF US HAVE FELT BUT COULD NOT PUT TO MUSIC YOU DID IT. THANK YOU LOVE YOU.
Talk to me Barry. Sing to Barry! One one else can do it like Barry! : )
love is this voice the man who could make life nice.
Simplemente un genio
@crossfader29 actually he sampled it from 2:21 and 1:40
@thuglikepac0 Dj premier chopped 2 parts of this song, from 1:10 and 1:39
