Once Upon A Time, the album

I guess this is the most brilliant Donna Summer album ever. It's oniric, hedonistic and does reveal the geniality of the magic trio Moroder-Bellotte-Summer.

Once upon a time
There was a girl
She lived in the land of never never
Where everything real is unreal
And only fairy tales come true
Something like me and you

But she believed
That what she dreamed of
Could be real
So she strived on
To make it come true

Fighting odds
Not knowing
What would come of her
Never giving up
The hope
Within her

She carried on and on
Because she believed
That once
Once in a time
In her lifetime
The things so unreal
Would be real

And in the morning,
one day when she awoke
To find herself surrounded
By the same old room
She was disappointed

So she dreamed
And she dreamed
And she dreamed
and she dreamed
and she dreamed

And she said that fairy tales do come true
'Cause I believeI believe
And she kept trying
And she kept right on fighting
Till one day
She met a man
Who held her tight
And she fell in love

Once upon a time
In the land of never never
Where all things real are unreal
There lived a girl
Who believed that all things
Could be possible

And one day she did awake
And found herself
Somewhere else
Beside her
A brand new face
Of someone that she loved
