Fairy tale
my life was just a fairy tale
I was letting an illusion
come into this heart of mine...

---Amy Grant, "Fairy Tale"

Catch the mystery, catch the drift

Once upon a time
A girl with moonlight in her eyes
Put her hand in mine
And said she loved me so
But that was once upon a time
Many years ago

(Charles Strouse/Lee Adams)

(it's the IDEA of a fairy tale, if not the word)

"Atlantis," by Donovan. He speaks seven minutes or so, and then sings those lines repeatedly. I love Donovan, but I can't defend him. :-)

I thought love was only just in fairy tales,
Meant for someone else, but not for me.

--The Monkees, "I'm a Believer."

My love is like a storybook story
But it's as real as the feelings I feel

The (horrid) pop love theme from "The Princess Bride"

Did we create the modern myth
did we imagine half of it...

That's a fairy tale to trust

Fairy tales
Can come true
It can happen to you
If you're young at heart

(notably sung by Frank Sinatra)

Bless my soul, Herc was on a roll
Undefeated
Flying high, and the nicest guy
Not conceited

What if I were Romeo in black jeans
What if I were Heathcliff it's no myth
Maybe she's just looking for
someone to dance with

Hey there little Red Riding Hood

My Venus in blue jeans
Is the Cinderella I adore
She's my very special (I forget)
A fairy tale come true
