{{Template:Lyrics|Stories Of Old|
Take a look at unselected cases
You'll find love has been wrecked
By both sides compromising
Amounting to a disastrous effect
You hear stories of old
Of princes bold
With riches untold
Happy souls
Casting it all aside
To take some bride
To have the girl of their dreams
At their side
But not me
I couldn't do that
Not me
I'm not like that
I couldn't sacrifice
Anything at all
To love
I really like you
I'm attracted to you
The way you move
The things you do
I'll probably burn in hell
For saying this
But I'm really in heaven
Whenever we kiss
But oh no
You won't change me
You can try
For an eternity
I wouldn't sacrifice
Anything at all
To love
Take a look at unselected cases
You'll find love has been wrecked
By both sides compromising
Amounting to a disastrous effect
Now I've got things to do
You have too
And I've got to be me
You've got to be you
So take my hand
And feel these lips
And let's savour a kiss
Like we'd savour a sip
Of vintage wine
One more time
Let's surrender
To this love divine
But we won't sacrifice
Anything at all
To love

Lyrics


Stories Of Old

Take a look at unselected cases

You'll find love has been wrecked

By both sides compromising

Amounting to a disastrous effect


You hear stories of old

Of princes bold

With riches untold

Happy souls

Casting it all aside

To take some bride

To have the girl of their dreams

At their side

But not me

I couldn't do that

Not me

I'm not like that


I couldn't sacrifice

Anything at all

To love


I really like you

I'm attracted to you

The way you move

The things you do

I'll probably burn in hell

For saying this

But I'm really in heaven

Whenever we kiss

But oh no

You won't change me

You can try

For an eternity


I wouldn't sacrifice

Anything at all

To love


Take a look at unselected cases

You'll find love has been wrecked

By both sides compromising

Amounting to a disastrous effect


Now I've got things to do

You have too

And I've got to be me

You've got to be you

So take my hand

And feel these lips

And let's savour a kiss

Like we'd savour a sip

Of vintage wine

One more time

Let's surrender

To this love divine


But we won't sacrifice

Anything at all

To love
