This is another piece that Lillora wrote while in college. New (and better) lyrics were written for this 2014 version. This song is partially based on a true story.
lyrics
Once upon a time
She met him
Once upon a time
They shared a smile
But, Once upon a time
she came to see
that another claimed his heart-
would be his bride.
She packs her heart
Back into its box
She turns the key
And hears it lock.
She stands and looks back-
the path she has lost
Her boots are dry
She pulls on her gloves.
There is sacrifice in love
She knows
Even if it means to give
A best friend away.
Her path will be true
She knows just what to do.
The sun peeks over the treetops
It is calling her to a new place
She knows that she will always wonder
But it’s time to begin
And to awake.
There is sacrifice in love
We know
Even if it means to give
One future away.
Her footsteps make no sound
The wind blows, her heart pounds.
“Good bye” she whispers
To no-one.
Time will see the end of all in Paradise.
