Montell Jordan - Once Upon A Time Lyrics
Well here is my story that I tell to you
You may not believe me but I swear it's true
I escaped to Havana for a getaway
In a tiny club with a cuban band on a Saturday
Like something from a movie or a storybook
She had a short dress with curly hair and chocolate skin
That's how it all began
I remember when she came into my life
And all at once-upon-a-time
Love was in the air
Just like an ocean breeze
And we were dancing to the sweetest melodies
I held her in my arms until she danced into the night
Once upon a time
[Girl] Hifuela mijo tell me what happened next
The next day I was walking to the marketplace
I passed by the cathedral so I stopped to pray
I imagined this journey without my friend
And just like an angel she appeared again
But before I could ask her why she had gone
The Padre started yelling that "She's the one"
And suddenly the Policia were everywhere with chaos in the air
I remember when she had to say goodbye
And all at once-upon-a-time
I could not believe they said she was a thief
And I stood there as they drove her away from me
And what was I to do, now they've accused her of a crime
It happened all at once-upon-a-time
I remember when I couldn't sleep that night
And all at once-upon-a-time
I had to find a way to bring her back to me
So I made a plan of how to set her free
And so tomorrow night, mi amore I will find
It happened all at once-upon-a-time
Once upon a time
[Girl] So tell me, how did you get outta there?
[Girls] He disguised himself in sheets
[MJ] I waited for the guards to fall asleep
[Girls] Snuck into the tower, took the keys
[MJ] And then I told the girl, stick close to me
[Girls] He was in a sword fight 'till the death
[MJ] Everyone that watched just held their breath
[Girls] And then he ran
[MJ] I ran
[Girls] Jumped
[MJ] I jumped
[Girls] Climbed
[MJ] Faster and faster and faster
[Policia] Guards, stop him! Don't let him get away, Guards!
I remember when she came back in my life
And all at once-upon-a-time
We made our getaway to another time and place
We were riding while the tears rolled down her face
She knows I can not stay so we'll say our goodbyes tonight
It happened all at once-upon-a-time
I remember when he came into my life
Love was in the air like an ocean breeze
Sweetest melodies
Until she danced into the night
It happened all at once-upon-a-time
Once upon a time

I just randomly remembered this song but forgot who sang it and only remembered like 2 sentences of the lyrics . So glad I found it because I would not have been able to sleep if I didnt
Time to turn of my radio. Music is dead. Soon we'll be hearing Farts on a beat like that South Park episode and people will cheer listening to farts on a beat at concerts rest assured. That's how bad it is.

high school. Rember
That's how it all began
I love most of his music, His R&B voice is horrible though, They did they best they could to cover it up with back up vocals I guess...
Where is this music now??????? Can somebody answer me ?
So beautiful!! What happened to writing music that could communicate sensuality and romance without the vulgar language.
Love this song. He sang in English and then went back and sang it Spanish. Badddass.
Who is the background singer?

2018 still listen it , when God will give me my husband he will sing this for me 🙏🙏🙏
Wait so Montell broke someone out of prison? Congratulations you are a criminal.😂😂😂😂

He said she had a short dress with curly hair and chocolate skin. The woman in the video does not look like that.

They made this look as much like cuba as they could
Seriously ?!!!!😳
you swear its true?
sorry Montell, youre full of shit. youre spanish is better than mine though
I never knew Montell could sing in Spanish!
I was just a little kid when this song came out, I remember every time it was on TV, I would just sit and stare cos it would take me to places, a feeling I can't explain. It still happens!
wow,same here,the story was so amazing , truly took me to a different place
David Ngarama facts with that
Tarryn Smith this song actually makes me reminisce about my first primary school love... sent it to her on a cassette recording

well done song. mix culture such bad.love it
Vandaag als classx request bij @Funxnl (Y)
This was SOOOOOOOOOO my song back then.
Where has this kind of music gone to.....?
once upon a time :(
L like this song when it's raining make my mood relax
Go to a club with live singers
Love this song.. but "chocolate skin" ..not soo much. The girl was pretty but nowhere near "chocolate". Weird casting choice.
i was thinking the same thing
Ikr especially with all those chocolate people in Cuba
man yall get mad over anything. Enjoy the damn song
Real music. ...damn!
Such an underrated song....
Damn skippy underrated
down hill career from there
it's breaks my haert again and again !!
this was my jam on college
This use to be one of my favorites by him... good ol 90's
I never heard this song before, another good song.
one of the best music that already listened
Aaaah...... this man know he has my heart all in butterflies. I just wonder what happened to all the beautiful love songs that men and women use to sing back in the days......... I don't mean to be old fashion....... I mean the decent ones that shows both sides interest in one another. Nowadays it's more of bashing each other sexes and banging someone and crap like that. This song is so smooth and fairy-tale like with such a heart breaking end: '( . Come back Montell please????
😢 ur right those days we appreciated love and romance
This is was a solid album.
Yeah this song is so pretty nice! But why it`s so sad? maybe cause i starting remember my ex? damn((
