Fairytale
Dana Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Imagine what a fool you could have made of me
Just think of what you are doing to my pride.
You run around and love a lot and never know
The good you have got.
Away you go and away you've been
But don't you koow you are living in a . . .
Fairytale
I do believe that you believe
Your fairytale
Imagining it's happening they do come true
But you only alone believe that too.
You're walking on a tight rope but you'd better know
There is no one there to catch you if you fall.
But I understand what's in your mind
And now you're waiting right behind
I should have known it from the start
I'd only be another part of your . . .
Fairytale




I do believe that you believe
. . .

Dana yo la escuché por vez primera cuando tenía 5 años, y sólo recordaba está canción por su música, hasta que la encontré escuchando unas mezclas, después de 45 años, muy linda la canción, y muy hermosa Dana...❤️

@thomasmarthinussen8978

A big UK hit for Dana in 1977. She had sporadic chart success in the mid/late 70s but her music is superb MOR/Pop.
