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 babies And it's too late to turn away 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's planned for tomorrow How happy we would be If only we could be storybook children
