You';ve got your world
And I've got mine and it's a shame
Two grownup 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, in a wonderland
Where everything is grand for tomorrow

You've got his ring, you've got his heart
You've got his baby, and woah 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?
Down in the land, hand in hand, across the meadow
Why can't we be like story book children?
In a wonderland, in a wonderland
Where everything is grand for tomorrow

Why can't we be like story book children?
Down in the land, hand in hand, across the meadow

Hold my hand one more time

Why can't we be like story book children?
In a wonderland, in a wonderland
Where everything is grand for tomorrow
Oh, how happy we would be
If only we were story book children
