Fairy Tale Songtext / Lyric

When I was just a boy

All the grown ups never had time for me

I had a friend who lived in a magical place

He was so strong and kind and real

Well, I can still see His face



My friend and I were so close

He never put me off

When I was scared, He would comfort me

All I had to do was call and there He would be



Lots of men in long black robes

Telling me I should know better

Time to grow up, face reality

A time to be a real go-getter






Now you say I'm a lucky guy

Got everything a man could want

You wouldn't understand, it wouldn't penetrate

I gotta find my childhood friend

Before it's too late



Lots of men in long black robes

Telling me I should know better

You really can't believe

Everything that's in that letter



I'm as happy as can be

Fairy tales aren't always make believe

You may think my advice isn't worth a dime

But I found my one true friend

He was right there all the time

All the time... you were right there all the time...

Not always make believe
