Once Upon a Holiday

lyrics

Once upon a holiday
I had taken more from you
than I could give
You were kind but blind
to the Scrooge in me
Or could it be
You believed in me
Once upon a holiday
You gave me warmth,
you gave me your heart
And I was grateful, but hateful
of all I couldn’t do for you
What could I return
How could I return
But what’s passed is past
I suppose nothing’s to last
But if clocks they all could unwind
I’d pull back them all and
find the time to find you
If it’s alright by you
I’d like to hold you
Like it’s the last part before we part ways
And show you the things I never could say
Once upon a holiday
Once upon a holiday
I had left you all alone
You barred the doors, closed the blinds, till the holidays subside
How could it be true
What have I done to you
Once upon a holiday I came to stay
You took my breath away
You filled a cup that never could be full
I hated me for letting down my walls
And so your fences too
I couldn’t let your love undo
The loneliness I deserved
Oh what did I break your heart for?
But what’s passed is past
And love was just in our grasp
But if clocks they could all unwind
I’d pull back them all and find the time
To find you
Now it’s once upon another holiday
Again I visit your iron bars
There’s no way today
you’d let me come inside to say
How I was wrong
Oh god how I was I wrong
Has the past really passed
I love you more than lifetimes can last
Please forgive me, let these clocks unwind
And I’ll let love back inside me
