You read me a chapter of storybook love When the night was a blanket around us I think we both knew that the dream would dissolve When the cold light of morning had found us You have what you need, and it isn't from me And it hurts but it's not a surprise The sweetest of words in our storybook love Are the sweetest of storybook lies You read me a chapter of storybook love My hope overcame my suspicion You spoke of ideals and you made it seem real I suppose we both knew it was fiction You read me a chapter of storybook love We spoke of the union that bound us Each time we're together that story seems real When we let those deep waters surround us
