Fairy Tale

[Verse 1]
When I was just a boy
All the grownups 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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus 2]
Lots of men in long black robes
Telling me I should know better
(You should know better)
You really can't believe
Everything that's in red letter
Red letter
Oh

[Guitar Solo]
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
Ooh

[Verse 3]
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

[Outro]
All the time
All the time
All the time
All the time
(You were there)
All the time
(You were there)
All the time
(You were there)
All the time
(You were there)
All the time
(You were there)
All the time
(You were there)
All the time
