Mark Knopfler - Storybook Love lyrics

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 Now 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 these 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
