I Can Remember Stories…….. Those Things My Mother Said…She Told Me Fairy Tales…….. Before I Went To Bed

My Mother Said There Was No Such Thing As Monsters

 

 

 

 

If I had to pick my favorite vocalist…. male and female…….

 

I would have to say Luther Vandross

 

And

 

Anita Baker……I really love this song………

 

 

 

 

I can remember stories…….. those things my mother said

She told me fairy tales…….. before I went to bed

 

She spoke of happy endings……. then tucked me in real tight

She turned my night light on………… and kissed my face good night

 

My mind would fill with visions……….. of perfect paradise

She told me everything……………. she said he'd be so nice

 

He'd ride up on his horse and…….. take me away one night

I'd be so happy with him………………. we'd ride clean out of sight

 

She Never said………… that we would………. curse, cry and scream and lie

She Never said………. that maybe……….. someday he'd say goodbye

 

The story ends as stories do

Reality steps into view

 

No longer living life in paradise ……. Of Fairy Tales

 

She spoke about happy endings……… of stories not like this

She said he'd slay all dragons………. defeat the evil prince

 

She said he'd come to save me………. swim through the stormy seas

I'd understand the story………. it- would- be- good- for- me

 

You never came to save me………. you let me stand alone

Out in the wilderness………All alone in the cold

 

My story ends…… as stories do

Reality steps into view

 

No longer living life in paradise ………….. No Fairy Tales

 

I don't look for pie up in the sky……….. baby

Need reality, now……. said I

 

Don't feel the need to be pacified…….. don't you try

 

Honey……. I know you lied

 

You never came to save me…….. you let me stand alone

Out in the wilderness........All alone in the cold

 

I found no magic potion……….. no horse with wings to fly

I found the poison apple……. my destiny to die

 

No royal kiss could save me……….. no magic spell to spin

My fantasy is over……… My Life Must Now Begin

 

My story ends as stories do

Reality steps into view

 

No Longer Living Life In Paradise ….. No Fairy Tales
