Storybook Love

Come my love I'll tell you a tale

Of a boy and girl and their love story

And how he loved her oh so much

And all the charms she did possess

Now this did happen once upon a time

When things were not so complex

How he worshipped the ground she walked

And when he looked in her eyes he became obsessed.

My love is like a storybook story

But it's as real as the feelings I feel

My love is like a storybook story

But it's as real as the feelings I feel

It's as real as the feelings I feel

This love was stronger than the powers so dark

A prince could have within his keeping

His spells to weave and steal a heart

Within her breast but only sleeping

My love is like a storybook story

But it's as real as the feelings I feel

My love is like a storybook story

But it's as real as the feelings I feel

It's as real as the feelings I feel

He said, "Don't you know I love you oh so much

And lay my heart at the foot of your dress?"

She said, "Don't you know that storybook loves

Always have a happy ending?"

Then he swooped her up just like in the books

And on his stallion they rode away

My love is like a storybook story

But it's as real as the feelings I feel

My love is like a storybook story

But it's as real as the feelings I feel
