Story book, story book, children 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 story book children? Down in the land, hand in hand, across the meadow Why can't we be, like story book children? In a wonderland, with nothing planned for tomorrow Story book, story book, children You've got his ring, you've got his heart You've got his baby And when it's too late to turn away And start all over again Oh no, don't tell me it's too late, babe Why can't we be, like story book children? In and out the rain, hand in hand, across the meadow Go ahead, one more time Why can't we be, like story book children, yeah In a wonderland, with nothing planned for tomorrow How happy we will be If only we were story book children How happy we will be If only we were story book children...
