An empty road a slippery street
Tears of heaven pouring on the ground
A lone star...Looked sadly down
On where she'd wait and he'd leave

It was November …the bleak
They set off for the corner street
Where footsteps meet
His in the west and hers in the east

It was a love that perishes with one's early days
A love with childhood's faith
Never doubting their footsteps would fail to trace
Each other's… to their meeting place
Headed to meet where they're doomed to separate

They waited on either sides of the world for the other to come
Failing to see how time in separate worlds runs
For when he waited in the heated sun
Night in the east where she waited had begun

It was the corner street where footsteps never meet
Hers coming at night when his at day would leave

Once upon a November...The bleak
A stranger passed where she waited…faithfully
Dropped a letter before her and disappeared
At the corner street …
Words wiped off by rains and tears
In his empty letter…disappointed she cried silently
Her pearl tears fell on the letter mixed with his
Phrases of love on the peeling paper then appeared

And that was the meeting that was never held
The story of the lovers that never met
Only at those magic moments out of time
When the sun hesitated to come

A triumph of love, a love that failed to be
Once upon a November…the sweet
Once upon a dream…
