Once Upon A Time / Storybook Love - Mark Knopfler

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 the time

When things were not so complex

And how he worshipped the board she walked

And when he looked in her eyes he become 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 the 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

It’s as real as the feelings I feel
