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 Billy it's too late

To turn away

And start all over again

Oh no, don't tell me it's too late baby



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

In a wonderland

Where nothing's planned for tomorrow



Ooh, how happy we would be

If only we

Were storybook children
