Once upon a time I was nothing
Once upon a time I was no one at all
Once upon a time I was nothing
But once upon a time a breeze was blowing
And it was soft and it was warm and so it filled my lungs
I came into this world red-faced and screaming
But you held me knowing something big had just begun
And I would cry time and again
But you would smile and say
"Just count to ten, my love
Just count to ten"
Once upon a time no one was listening
Once upon a time I was all alone
Once upon a time no one was listening
But once upon a time I heard you singing
And it was calm and it was strong and so it filled my soul
And there was something beautiful worth hearing
And suddenly the world just didn't seem so cold
And I would cry time and again
And you would smile and say
"Just count to ten, my love,
Just count to ten...
Count to ten and close your eyes
And remember that I love you
And even when you need to cry
You can feel my light above you
Just hold my hand
And start again
The world won't end it in the time it takes
To count to ten
Take a breath when you do wrong,
Take a breath when you've been done wrong
I am here, and you're so strong
Don't push the world away
I'm asking you to stay
'Cause who you're gonna be tomorrow
Isn't how you feel today"
Once upon a time I saw you weeping
I never thought that such a thing could ever be
And all the while you thought that I was sleeping
Once upon a time someone was dying
And once upon a time you tried to spread your wings
But heavy hearts will make it hard for flying
But take my hand and we can do most anything
I have cried time and again
So now it's my turn to smile and say
"Just count to ten,
Count to ten
Let's count to ten and close our eyes
Remember that I love you
So even when you need to cry
You can feel my light above you
Just hold my hand
And we'll start again
The world won't end in the time it takes us
To count to...
