Perfect Story Songtext
von Idina Menzel

This is a song that I wrote
On my latest album
And I, I wrote it for my little boy

Jack and Jill went up the hill
A bucket full of dreams
When the morning came
They carved their names into the cherry tree
But the hill was built on quicksand
And it all came tumblin′ down
So they held onto the only thing
They couldn't live without

And here you are the best of us
With a bigger heart than the rest of us


I′m so sorry
I couldn't give you the perfect story
A textbook happy ending
Where nobody here gets hurt
And don't you worry
Your daddy and your mommy
May be a little broken
But not our love for you
No our love for you
Can move the earth
Ooh ooh ooh

When London bridge came falling down
I saw you through the flames
And for a second I convinced myself
It′s better if I stay
But what would you thought of love?
If you had watched us burn
Would you grow up and think
A bridge on fire is what you deserve

And here you are the best of us
With a bigger heart than the rest of us


I′m so sorry
I couldn't give you the perfect story
A textbook happy ending
Where nobody here gets hurt
And don′t you worry
Your daddy and your mommy
May be a little broken
But not our love for you
No our love for you
Can move the earth
Ooh ooh ooh

And I'll never have to wonder
I won′t regret what we've been through
Won′t have to look no further
The answer's here with you
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
