[Intro] [rubato piano arpeggios] [Verse 1] [baritone vocals, intimate delivery] Once upon a time I found you Though we never should have met Funny how the world can bring you To the one you can't forget And the years kept turning pages While we watched the world go by I don't know how the story changes I just know you're still by my side [Chorus] [piano increases in volume, rhythmic block chords] Oh, and if this is where the road goes I don't need to know As long as I can hold you I can let the story lead on its own (yeah) [Verse 2] Maybe we don't need a castle Maybe we don't need a crown Maybe all the best stories Are the ones nobody writes down Could this be my forever? Is this happily ever after? I don't need a perfect ending So long as you are my final chapter (yeah) [Bridge] [electric guitar enters, clean tone] Our little story (oh-oh, yeah) Our little story [sustained belt] Ooh [Verse 3] There were nights without a guiding star There were days we lost our way I would have read each paragraph Even knowing what they'd say Maybe love was never promised Maybe nothing's guaranteed But you helped me through the hardest parts And that's enough, that's enough, that's enough for me (hey) [Chorus 2] [fuller piano arrangement] So if the pages tear and the ink begins to fade I'll still remember every moment like the first time that The first time that you stayed Maybe we don't need a castle Maybe we don't need a crown Maybe all the best stories are the ones nobody writes down Could this be my forever? Is this happily ever after? I don't need a perfect ending So long as you are my final chapter (yeah) [Outro] Our little story (oh-oh-oh) Our little story (oh-oh-oh) Our little story Our little story Ooh [piano slows down] Once upon a time And every day since then I'll choose this same story I choose you All over again [final piano chord rings out] [End]
