Story book, story book, children
You've got your world
And I've got mine and it's a shame
Two grown-up worlds
That will never be the same
Why can't we be, like story book children?
Down in the land, hand in hand, across the meadow
Why can't we be, like story book children?
In a wonderland, with nothing planned for tomorrow
Story book, story book, children
You've got his ring, you've got his heart
You've got his baby
And when it's too late to turn away
And start all over again
Oh no, don't tell me it's too late, babe
Why can't we be, like story book children?
In and out the rain, hand in hand, across the meadow
Go ahead, one more time
Why can't we be, like story book children, yeah
In a wonderland, with nothing planned for tomorrow
How happy we will be
If only we were story book children
How happy we will be
If only we were story book children...
