[English]

Baby boy, I love you, I really, really love you

Something that has never changed

And I know that we've had issues, but darling, I do miss you

And I'd love to be more than friends

Now I know I may be dreaming, but our love had true meaning

And everyone around could see

So let me make this public, it's you that I'm in love with

And darling, this will always be, so

Can I be your fairytale?

Promise I will love you well

Be your fairytale

Promise I will love you well

Can I be your fairytale?

Promise I will love you well

Be your fairytale

Promise I will love you well

Baby girl, I love you, I really, really love you

Something that I'm sure you see

Now ain't no sense in lying, darling, I've been trying

To give you all the space you need

Now we've both endured the pressure, we've endured the heartache

We have both endured the pain

If this is what I have to in order to have you

I would do it all again, so

Can I be your fairytale? (Fairytale)

Promise I will love you well (promise I will love you)

Be your fairytale

Promise I will love you well

Can I be your fairytale?

Promise I will love you well

Be your fairytale

Promise I will love you well (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Can I be your fairytale? (Can I be your)

Promise I will love you well (so well)

Be your fairytale (can I be your)

Promise I will love you well

Can I be your fairytale? (Hey)

Promise I will love you well (promise I will love you well)

Be your fairytale? (Yeah)

Promise I will love you well (just me and you)

Can I be your fairytale?

Can I be your

Can I be your

Fairytale
