Lyrics

Storybook love

Written and sung by willy deville
Arranged by mark knopfler
Engineered and mixed by steve jackson

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
And how he worshipped the ground she walked on
When he looked in her eyes, he became obsessed
(To chorus:)

Chorus:
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
(To chorus:)

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
(To chorus:)
