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
