Once Upon Another Time
Timeless Choices: Unveiling the Poignant Tale in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Song
Lyrics
Once upon another time
Reflecting on a past moment in time
Our story had only begun
At that point, the narrative had just started
You chose to turn the page
A decision to progress in the story
And I made choices too
Acknowledging personal choices made
Once upon that other time
Recalling a different moment in the past
We did what we thought must be done
Acting based on perceived necessity
And now we have no choice
Feeling compelled without alternative
We do what we must do
Embracing obligation in the present
We love, we live
Engaging in love and life experiences
We give what we can give
Offering what one can in relationships
And take what little we deserve
Balancing giving with deserving
Once upon another time
Reflecting on a different point in time
I knew how our story would end
Having a preconceived notion of the story's end
And maybe I was wrong
Questioning the accuracy of past beliefs
But now the moment's gone
Realizing a missed opportunity
Were it still that other time
Imagining altering past circumstances
I'd make time itself somehow bend
Expressing a desire for the past
But now I'm not that strong
Acknowledging a current lack of strength
And time keeps moving on
Accepting the unstoppable passage of time
We love, we live
Reiteration of engaging in love and life
We give what we can give
Continuing to offer what can be given
And take what little we deserve
Reiterating the balance of giving and deserving
We love, we live
Further emphasizing engagement in love and life
We give what we can give
Persisting in offering what one can give
And take what little we deserve
Repeating the theme of balancing giving and deserving
Once upon another time
Revisiting the initial reflection on another time
