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 Hold my hand one more time! Why can't we be Like storybook children? In a wonderland (In a wonderland) Where nothing's planned for tomorrow Oooh, how happy we would be If only we were storybook children
