C                  F          C
Come my love, I'll tell you a tale,
C                     G7          C
Of a boy and girl, and their Love Story.
C                     F     C
And how he loved her, oh so much,
C                      G7     C
And all the charms she did possess.

C                        F      C
Now this did happen once upon a time,
C                    G7    C
When things were not so complex.
C                         F          C
And how he worshipped the ground she walked,
C                                  G7     C
And when he looked in her eyes, he became obsessed.

But it's as real as the feelings I feel.

This love was stronger than the powers so dark
C                              G7 C
A prince could have within his keeping
C                       F       C
His spells to weave and steal a heart
C                          G7  C
Within her breast but only sleeping

He said, "Don't you know I love you oh so much
C                       G7           C
And lay my heart at the foot of your dress?"
           C                   F         C
She said, "Don't you know that storybook loves
C                   G7 C
Always have a happy ending?"
C                           F           C
Then he swooped her up just like in the books
C                        G7   C
And on his stallion they rode away
