Storybook Love Songtext
von Mark Knopfler

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 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
It′s as real as the feelings I feel
It's as real as the feelings I feel
