Once Upon A December: My "Anastasia" Page
I first heard the song "Once Upon a December" at my dance studio. It is a gorgeous song from the soundtrack "Anastasia." Here are the lyrics to the version performed so beautifully by Deana Carter, copyright 1997. This version is slightly different than the one played during the movie. In the movie, the first chorus is replaced by "Aaahs" from the choir. Dislaimer: I am not making any money from this page.

ONCE UPON A DECEMBER
Dancing bears, painted wings
Things I almost remember
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December
Refrain:
Someone holds me safe and warm
Horses prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully across my memory
Far away, long ago
Glowing dim as an ember
Things my heart used to know
Once upon a December
REFRAIN
Far away, long ago
Glowing dim as an ember
Things my heart used to know
Things it yearns to remember
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December................
The Movie
Based on the premise of the old tale that one daughter of the Russian Romanovs family survived, "Anastasia" places the viewer in the palace of the family at the cusp of the Russian Revolution. From that moment on, the movie is done as a fairy tale. I recently saw the film, and I must admit, it was wonderful. It did not come off as too cheesy or sentimental; it mixed humor and romance with suspense and drama. It was very good. I recommend it to anyone who would like to see a good film that will keep you occupied without boring you.
On a scale of 1 to 10, I give it an 11.
UPDATE: I got "Anastasia" for my birthday!!!
John Cusack
Here he is, stylin' in glasses in "City Hall."
Have you ever noticed in cartoons, especially Disney films, that the characters
slightly resemble their vocal talents? Below is a picture of Dimitri, and below him
is a pic of John Cusack. Do you see a resemblance?
