Once Upon a Time

Young and naïve
Raised to believe
That I could disappear
And no one would shed a tear

But then you came along
With your mariachi song
Dark mysterious and luring
With a potion made for curing

All my pains and ills
Oooh…when I felt your skills
Papi I was sprung
Cuz baby you were hung

The healing power in your junk
The fact that you were a hunk
Of love wrapped up with a ribbon
But with a line of broken women

Left behind you in a trail
Each with their own tale
Maybe I should have baled
They were cautionary tales

Here I am 15 years after
With my share of tears and laughter
Our great romance is the stuff
The thing dreams were made of

I never will regret
And I never will forget
All our days and nights
Both our lovemaking and our fights

I think that it really is true
And given its proper due
Tis better to have loved and lost
Than to have never have loved at all
