Storybook - The Scarlet Pimpernel

Listen to me, I have beautiful dreams I can spin you

Dreams to linger within you

Close your eyes and we’ll ride my carousel

I’ll sing you stories of

Lovers whose love used

To fill me

And the lovers who will be

For, you see, love is one thing I do well

Come let’s believe love can be just as sweet as it seems

Let’s live on dreams…

In my dreams such beautiful lovers have found me

Story book lovers surround me

Nothing is real, but I’m flying

Sighing: Where, where, where is my story book

Ending?

Why does my golden pretending

Leave me with nothing to hold… but

My dreams?

Oh is it only in dreams that we find out ideal love?

Are there lovers with real love?

If you know how to feel love, show me how

Ah, but my prince, if you can’t be as sweet as you seem

I’d rather dream!

Come and wake me! Come be the love I can hold now

Storybook love leaves me cold now

Show me the way to stop dreaming!

There is only one perfect story book ending

That is the end of pretending

That is the moment I say: Love me now!

Et sur mon manege, l’amour toujours est chantant

Des mes reves, c’est le commencement

Et j’espere une fine heureuse

Mais la fin de l’histoire ne vient pas tres doucement

Pour l’histoire il faut faire semblant

Certes je n’embrasse que mes reves, seuls mes reves!
