shoulda, woulda, coulda,
but face facts my dear
it "just ain't"
that old relentless fairytale
the heart too often wishes to paint

fancy and bright sunsets
knights on their white steads
they aren't there
that old relentless fairytale
those things don't happen anywhere

lotto numbers, i'll win
seems to be my turn
but it's hype
that old relentless fairytale
they pluck suckers when they're ripe

but once upon a time
when my heart could care
yes it's true
i found the love of my life
when i found you standing there.......

don't listen to them
fairytales do come true
if only for a while.....
