I had stopped believing in fairy tales
Or hoping that dreams would come true,
Or making a wish on a falling star:
But that was before I met you.

I used to believe in love that’s divine;
Romance and passion in the moonlight:
Someone would court me with roses and wine -
But nothing seemed to be going right.

Faith soon gave way to cynicism.
I stopped believing in the power of love:
Innocence overrun by egoism.
I felt I had nothing to be proud of.

But then you forced your way into my life
With a gentleness I found hard to resist:
The past I wished to forget was in strife
With the future I was beginning to glimpse.

And through the dark clouds that seemed to envelop my future
I saw, softly twinkling, a star of hope:
Your companionship seemed to bring that light nearer -
I took your hand to help me climb the slope.

You showed me a whole new world:
Sprinkled with stardust and strewn with flowers!
High above my senses whired:
You gave my dreams new wings, new powers.

How could I resist the perfect gentleman’s charm?
How could I stop my dreams from coming true?
When my brave warrior vowed to keep me from harm,
How could I stop myself from letting you?

Days have not yet broken my dream:
The star is now a  sun lighting up the sky:
Life is not all peaches and cream -
But the beauty of life has not passed me by.

The path ahead winds so much I cannot see where it leads:
As far as eye can see, trees provide cool shade and shelter.
And even if further on, it’s thorny and full of weeds,
It matters but little if your arm rests on my shoulder.
