Cinderella lived happily ever after
Juliet died a child
I'm in the middle of my life
my heart's still running wild
I've been trying to exorcise
these romantic delusions
but I keep coming back
to the same conclusion

wouldn't it be wonderful
to find a love so true
we'd always want to be together
with smiling eyes
no fears no lies
in each minute we'd find forever
oh wouldn't it be wonderful

was it the images they presented
or the ones that I invented
fooled me into thinking
I’d found the one
and each time oh I really believed
until the truth set me free

I've been chasing these old fairy tale dreams
since I was a young girl
if life's eternal
I guess I don't have to meet
my soulmate in this world...
but wouldn't it be wonderful
