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 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 is planned for tomorrow You've got his ring, you've got his heart, you've got his baby And it's too late for us to turn and start again 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 is planned for tomorrow How happy we could be If only we were storybook children, storybook children Storybook children, storybook children, storybook 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 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 Oh, why, one more time 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

Turn the lights out, in the lighthouse I saw you coming Felt the shipwreck, saw the wreckage I heard you yelling Just then that's when I saw your reflection in the sand Wondering where you had washed up Oh, I ran to the water (mmm) I could put my hands down in it But it won't bring nothing up Sitting on the shore all day Just waiting on the tide to come But you can't hold on to water It fills you up but never stays It's only good to wash away, today And you're loving me like water You're slipping through my fingers, such A natural disaster love Bringing on the flood of love Love me like a flood of love Bring it on Stay the night out, by the beach house It's oh so quiet Lit a candle, by the window So you might find it Hope you know you'll always have a place to call your home Still I can't help but think I could have saved you from drowning (oooh) I could put my hands down in it, yeah But it won't bring nothing up Sitting on the shore all day Just waiting on the tide to come But you can't hold on to waterIt fills you up but never stays It's only good to wash away, today And you're loving me like water You're slipping through my fingers, such A natural disaster love Bringing on the flood of love Love me like a flood of love Bring it on I knew the waves were icy When I felt them all retreating Went to take a dive in the deep end Oh, what was I thinking? But you can't hold on to waterIt fills you up but never stays It's only good to wash away, today And you're loving me like water You're slipping through my fingers, such A natural disaster love Bringing on the flood of love Love me like (love me like) a flood of love Bring it on (Ohh ohh) The rising and the falling of my tears Rising and the falling of my tears that fill the ocean The ocean The ocean My tears that fill the ocean

Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean The unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to turn to green The snowbird sings a song he always sings And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring When I was young my heart was young then too Anything that it would tell me, that's the thing that I would do But now I feel such emptiness within For the thing that I want most in life is the thing I can't win Spread your wings and fly away And take the snow back with you Where it came from on that day The one I love forever is untrue And if I could, you know that I would Fly away with you The breeze along the river seems to say That he'll only break my heart again, should I decide to stay So little snowbird take me with you when you go To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow Spread your tiny wings and fly away And take the snow back with you Where it came from on that day The one I love forever is untrue And if I could, you know that I would Fly away with you
