Don Black - Stories lyrics

When I get to know him We'll find more things to say One day I will reach him There has to be a way Everyone needs someone He must need someone, too When I get to know him better Here's what I will do I'll read him stories from picture books All filled with wonder Magic worlds where the impossible Becomes the everyday We'll find a mountain-top And some moon-beams to sit under I'll lead, because I know the way So much to discover I do it all the time I could live inside bright pages Where the words all rhyme We will slay the dragons That still follow him around And he'll smile Yes, he'll smile As his dreams leave the ground Stories and stories About mermaids, kings and sunken treasure Magic worlds where the impossible Becomes the everyday I know a tiny place Just a dot, too small to measure I'll lead him there, I know the way Stories about heroes Who overcame their deepest sorrows They'll put hope into his heart again To cherish everyday He'll find a better world And the strength to face tomorrow I'm sure that when he knows the way He'll want to stay
