Once Upon A Time... Storybook Love — Mark Knopfler

Storybook Love

Written and sung by Willy DeVille, arranged by Mark Knopfler, engineered and mixed by Steve Jackson

Come my love, I'll tell you a tale of a boy and girl and their love story and how he loved her oh, so much, and all the charms she did possess.

Chorus

My love is like a storybook story. But it's as real as the feelings I feel. My love is like a storybook story. But it's as real as the feelings I feel; it's as real as the feelings I feel.

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

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

He said, "Don't you know I love you oh, so much, And lay my heart at the foot of your dress?" She said, "Don't you know that storybook loves Always have a happy ending?"

Then he swooped her up, just like in the books, And on his stallion they rode away.
