Once upon a time I woke up with a feeling
As if I were still dreaming
As though I were in a fairytale
The whole history reads like a dream
Everything I believed in had that meaning
Which was just the feeling of a dream
I must reactivate my whole life
Where has all my freedom gone -
Where has all my feedom gone
"once upon a time" i had to cross the line
My reality was the dream of my life that day

Once upon a time i had to cross the line
My reality was the dream of my life
The daydream was real nothing to conceal
Once upon a time i had to change my mind
To take off these rose-coloured
Glasses of mine the dream was not true
Cause I was in love with you

I had to realize that now is
The time for a different time
I have to reactivate my whole life
Even when my intimacy will be bleeding
For the rest of my life
But I have to reactivate
My only love my only love my only love
My only love my only love
And to realize that I have

Once upon a time i had to cross the line
My reality was the dream of my life
The daydream was real nothing to conceal
Once upon a time i had to change my mind
To take off these rose-coloured
Glasses of mine the dream was not true
'cause I was in love with you
