A stone tower rises up
A golden braid cascades down
A glass slipper sits on a step
A ruby apple rolls down a stoop
A prince leans down for a kiss
A rescuer scales up for a damsel in distress
A charmer searches for his dance partner
A stranger wakes a beauty in the woods
But this only happens once upon a time
In a song or story once upon a dream
Prince Charmings have been forgotten
And princesses are their own heroes
No true loves kiss to wake you
After a hundred year slumber
No helpful fairy godmother
To give you a new curfew
Our happily ever after
Is gone forever after
