Storybook Love
The Willy Deville Acoustic Trio Lyrics

Come my love I'll tell you a tale
The singer invites their lover to listen to a story

Of a boy and girl and their love story
The story is about a boy and girl who loved each other

And how he loved her oh so much
The boy's love for the girl was very strong

And all the charms she did possess
The girl had many attractive qualities

Now this did happen once upon a time
The story takes place a long time ago

When things were not so complex
Life was simpler back then

How he worshipped the ground she walked
The boy adored the girl

And when he looked in her eyes he became obsessed
The boy was infatuated with the girl

My love is like a storybook story
The singer's love is like a fairytale

But it's as real as the feelings I feel
Despite being like a fairytale, the love is genuine

It's as real as the feelings I feel
This line emphasizes the genuine nature of the love

This love was stronger than the powers so dark
The love between the boy and girl was stronger than any evil magic

A prince could have within his keeping
Even a powerful prince couldn't control this love

His spells to weave and steal a heart
The prince might use spells to make someone fall in love with him

Within her breast but only sleeping
The girl might have had feelings for the prince, but they were dormant

Now he said, "Don't you know I love you oh so much
The boy told the girl how much he loved her

And lay my heart at the foot of your dress?"
The boy was willing to give his heart to the girl

She said, "Don't you know that these storybook loves
The girl pointed out that fairytale romances always end happily

Always have a happy ending?"
The girl was confident that their love story would have a happy ending

Then he swooped her up just like in the books
The boy swept the girl off her feet like a fairytale hero

And on his stallion they rode away
The boy and girl rode off into the sunset on a noble steed
