Instrumental written by Prince, recorded July 1985.

Once upon a time N a land called Fantasy
17 mountains stood so high
The sea surrounded them & 2gether they would B
The only thing that ever made U cry
U said the devil told U that another mountain would appear
Everytime somebody broke ur heart
He said the sea would 1 day overflow with all ur tears
& love will always leave U lonely
But say it's only mountains & the sea
Love will conquer if U just believe
Oh yeah

It's only mountains
& the sea
There's nothing greater, oh
U & me

Once upon a time N a haystack of despair
Happiness sometimes hard 2 find, yeah
Africa divided; hijack N the air
It's enuff 2 make U wanna lose ur mind
But say it's only mountains & the sea
Love will conquer if U just believe
Oh yeah

It's only mountains
& the sea
There's nothing greater, oh
U & me

Guitars & drums on the 1, huh
Whoo
Ooh
Bobby on the drum (Yeah!)

It's only mountains (Oh yeah)
& the sea
& the girls say...
There's nothing greater, oh
U & me
Oh

Starvation
Ow!
Mountains, uh

Tracy died soon after a long fought civil war
Just after wiped away his last tear
guess he's better off than he was b4
A whole lot better off than the fools he left here
used 2 cry 4 Tracy cuz he was my only friend
Those kind of cars don't pass U every day
used 2 cry 4 Tracy cuz want 2 C him again
But sometimes, sometimes life ain't always the way

Sometimes it snows N April
Sometimes feel so bad, so bad
Sometimes wish that life was never-ending
& all good things, they say, never last

Springtime was always my favorite time of year
A time 4 lovers holding hands N the rain
Now springtime only reminds me of Tracy's tears
Always cry 4 love, never cry 4 pain
He used 2 stay so strong, unafraid 2 die
Unafraid of the death that left me hypnotized
No, staring at his picture realized
No 1 could cry the way my Tracy cried

Sometimes it snows N April
Sometimes feel so bad, yeah
Sometimes, sometime we wish that life was never-ending
(Sometimes wish that life was never-ending)
But all good things, they say, never last

often dream of heaven & know that Tracy's there
know that he has found another friend
Maybe he's found the answer 2 all the April snow
Maybe 1 day 'll C my Tracy again

Sometimes it snows N April
Sometimes feel so bad, so bad
Sometimes wish that life was never-ending
But all good things, they say, never last
But all good things, they say, never last
& love, it isn't love until it's had
