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 storybook children
Running through the rain hand in hand across the meadow
Why can't we be like storybook children
In a wonderland where nothing's planned for tomorrow

You've got his ring you've got his heart you've got his baby
And it's too late to turn away and start again

Why can't we be like storybook children...
How happy we could be if only we were storybook children
