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:)
