lyrics

Storybook Writer (The Storybook Song)

words and music by Richard Melvin Brown SOCAN

Verse One:

Why does a teardrop appear at the end when a broken heart won’t mend
That ain’t the way the storybook says it should end
And why does the final curtain of the final matinee

Take the happy ever after out of what all the storybooks say

Chorus:

STORY BOOK WRITER CAN YOU RE-WRITE THE STORY OF MY LIFE
CAN YOU REPLACE DADDY’S GONE WITH SOME NEW PAGES ON
TOGETHER AND FOREVER
AND ERASE ANY WORD OR MENTION OF DIVORCE
AND PUT THE HAPPY EVER AFTER BACK IN MY LITTLE GIRL’S DREAMS

Verse Two:

Why does a heartache come after a dream that’s the way it always seems
That ain’t the way the storybook says it should be
And why does the end of the rainbow at the end of a stormy day
Take the happy ever after out of what all the storybooks say

REPEAT CHORUS

Verse Three:

Why does a promise turn into a lie when true love should never die
Is that not what all the storybooks would tell a child
And why does the last unveiling in our real life masquerade
Take the happy ever after out of what all the storybooks say

REPEAT CHORUS
