I saw her standing there in the light

Her beautiful eyes staring at me

It's hard to believe that the moment is real

But that's the way the story goes

She took my hand and led me away

We flew off in the night

And in her arms, I started to fall

But that's the way the story goes

That's the way the story goes

The one we all know

About the girl with beauty untold

That's the way the story goes

I couldn't see what was in front of me

I thought it was love, but it was a dream

And the darkness that dwells within her soul

Is why this is how the story goes

That's the way the story goes

The one we all know

About the girl with beauty untold

That's the way the story goes

She leaves behind a heart that's broken in two

For every man she knew

But she will never be alone

And that's the way the story goes
