Unfair Tale

I dreamed about the day
when I'd met Prince Charming
and he'd whisk me far away
Far away, to a land
Where the sky is always blue
the birds are always singing
and the sun is shining too
Where life is such a perfect place
no hurt, or sadness there
where love is like a fairy-tale
and dreams have not a care
but now faced with reality
where life is not a dream
and love is not the fairy-tale
I'd always hoped it be
faced with all the hardship,
of life and all that brings,
at times when all I do is cry
and no bird ever sings
I wonder how it got to this
and where the years have gone
then I realize, that life will never be
the way it was when I was young.
