Once Upon A Time... 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:)
