A long long time ago
Somewhere in the pristine snow
No one knew and ever will know that he never, never, never
came back home
Once upon a time
She cinched her dress, set the table to dine
poured a glass and said "you're mine"
he took a sip, but never, never, never
took the climb
oh oh mama never told me so
oh oh oh
My my lift your eyes up to the sky
oh oh tell me why
CHORUS:
The sky, the sky, is so overused
so overdone and already been chewed
So save your breath and hold your tongue
the sting has already stung
So now you're crying in your bed
Take your pillow, lift your head
cause chivalry is lost not dead
what would you say if would've said
that dreams never, never, never come true
You're and infestation
here's my proclamation
make no alterations
cause you'll never, never, never get me back
oh no
oh oh mama never told me so
oh oh oh
My my lift your eyes up to the sky
oh oh tell me why
Even the brightest of lights
cast the darkest of shadows
i guess i was blinded by the light
blinded by the light of your halo
cause all the wise men never told me so
oh oh oh
CHORUS:
The sky, the sky, is so overused
so overdone and already been chewed
So save your breath and hold your tongue
the sting has already stung
The war is already won
Spring has already sprung
