Mark Knopfler, Willy DeVille - 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 worshiped 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
It's as real as the feelings, I feel
