Song by Mark Knopfler<br /><br>

Written and sung by Willy DeVille,<br>

arranged by Mark Knopfler,<br>

engineered and mixed by Steve Jackson<br>

<br>

Come my love, I'll tell you a tale<br>

of a boy and girl and their love story<br>

and how he loved her oh, so much,<br>

and all the charms she did possess.<br>

<br>

Chorus:<br>

My love is like a storybook story.<br>

But it's as real as the feelings I feel.<br>

My love is like a storybook story.<br>

But it's as real as the feelings I feel;<br>

it's as real as the feelings I feel.<br>

<br>

Now this did happen once upon a time<br>

When things were not so complex.<br>

And how he worshipped the ground she walked on.<br>

When he looked in her eyes, he became obsessed.<br>

<br>

[Chorus]<br>

<br>

This love was stronger than the powers so dark,<br>

A prince could have within his keeping;<br>

His spells to weave and steal a heart<br>

Within her breast, but only sleeping.<br>

<br>

[Chorus]<br>

<br>

He said, "Don't you know I love you oh, so much,<br>

And lay my heart at the foot of your dress?"<br>

She said, "Don't you know that storybook loves<br>

Always have a happy ending?"<br>

<br>

<br>

Then he swooped her up, just like in the books,<br>

And on his stallion they rode away.<br>

<br>

[Chorus]<br>

<br>
