Lyrics

It’s a fairytale so tragic
There’s no prince to break the spell
I don’t believe in magic
But for you I will, for you I will
If I’m a fool, I’ll be a fool
Darlin’ for you

I’m countin’ on a miracle
Baby I’m countin’ on a miracle
Darlin’ I’m countin’ on a miracle
To come through

There ain’t no storybook story
There’s no never-ending song
Our happily ever after Darlin’
Forever come and gone
I’m movin’ on
If I’m gonna believe
I’ll put my faith
Darlin’ in you

I’m countin’ on a miracle
Baby I’m countin’ on a miracle
Darlin’ I’m countin’ on a miracle
To come through

Sleeping beauty awakes from her dream
With her lover’s kiss on her lips
Your kiss was taken from me
Now all I have is this

Your kiss, your kiss, your touch, your touch
Your heart, your heart, your strength, your strength
Your hope, your hope, your faith, your faith
Your face, your face, your love, your love
Your dream, your dream, your life, your life

I’m runnin’ through the forest
With this wolf at my heels
My king is lost at midnight
When the tower bells peal
We’ve got no fairytale ending
In God’s hands our fate is complete
Your heaven’s here in my heart
Our love’s this dust beneath my feet
Just this dust beneath my feet
If I’m gonna live
I’ll life my life
Darlin’ to you
