Once upon a time, we had a lot to fight for We had a dream, we had a plan Sparks in the air, we spread a lot of envy Didn't have to care, once upon a time Remember when I swore That love was never ending That you and I would never die Remember when I swore We had it all We had it all Sail away, it's time to leave Rainy days are yours to keep Fade away, the night is calling my name You will stay, I'll sail away Once upon a time, we used to burn candles We had a place to call a home The dream that we lived was better than divine Every day was like a gift, once upon a time Remember when you swore Your love was never ending That you and I will never die Remember when you swore We had it all We'd never fall Sail away, it's time to leave Rainy days are yours to keep Fade away, the night is calling my name You will stay, I'll sail away No reason to lie No need to pretend I'm grateful to die To live once again I'm fearless to fly And reach for the end And reach for the end Sail away... Sail away, it's time to leave Rainy days are yours to keep Fade away, the night is calling my name You will stay, I'll sail away Sail away... The night is calling my name Sail away...
