Shakespeare & Serenades

There’s not a script,
This isn’t a stage,
We don’t have the luxury to read the final page
There’s not a chance
To rewrite the wrongs.
Wish we could just replay the days that we have lost.
But don’t forget
That there’s a part,
The leading role,
for you in my future.
Don’t let real life
Ever disguise,
The miracle.
You’ve seen it in movies,
You’ve read it in books,
It’s painted in pictures,
Wherever you look.
But you should know…
Love’s not just for fairytales,
Shakespeare and serenades.
I’ve made mistakes,
And you’ve made a few,
But where’s the real romance
About a fall or two???
So don’t regret
A single thing
A single step
That we have to hurdle
The rising sun
Will not become
A silhouette
You’ve seen it in movies,
You’ve read it in books,
It’s painted in pictures,
Wherever you look.
But you should know.
Love’s not just for fairytales,
Shakespeare and serenades.
Call me a dreamer,
Say what you like,
But there’s always some truth
In beautiful lies
You should know…
Love’s not just for fairytales,
Shakespeare and serenades.
You should know
You should know
You should know
You should know…
You’ve seen it in movies,
You’ve read it in books,
It’s painted in pictures,
Wherever you look.
But you should know (You should know)
Love’s not just for fairytales (fairytales),
Shakespeare and serenades.
Call me a dreamer,
Say what you like (Say what you like),
But there’s always some truth
In beautiful lies (beautiful lies)
You should know…
Love’s not just for fairytales,
Shakespeare and serenades.
You should know.
