Note: These words are written to the music of the Enya instrumental "Fairytale."

Tell me a fairytale,
One filled with magic
And hearts aglow,
Tell me a fairytale
Of now and long ago.

Tell me a fairytale,
One filled with true love,
One that I know.
Tell me a fairy tale,
One with a true hero.

Tell me a fairytale,
One with adventure
I'll never know,
Tell me a fairytale
Of now and long ago.

I'll tell you a tale
Of once upon a time and memory,
When princes' kisses still
Let happy ever after be,

When a princess imprisoned
In a tower far away
Was saved by the magic
Of her own heart's strength and stay.

I'll tell you a tale
Of once upon a time, ages untold,
Where each and every trail
Would find a rainbow's pot of gold.

I'll tell you a tale, How once upon a time can still be, When hearts that never fail Live ever after happily, And when girls just like you, child, Don't pretend but truly live And rescue their own selves With their love and joy to give. I'll tell you a tale Of happy ever after, and how If everyone believes Then once upon a time is now.

(Background singers) Tell you, tell you a tale There can still be once upon a time Hearts never ever fail To happy ever after rhyme Girls just like you Can truly live Rescue themselves Love and joy to give Tell you, tell you a tale Happy ever after, and how If each one of you believes Once upon a time is now.
