Storybook Love (Princess Bride Theme) - Theme from the classic movie, The Princess Bride. Storybook Love reminds us that love can be everlasting, selfless, and undying, and can be victorious in spite of adversity. Buttercup and Westley are the idyllic couple, the storybook lovers who finally land in their "happily ever after."
Storybook Love (Theme from Princess Bride) is quite possibly the most romantic, fairy-tale love story song possible for a wedding day. Perfect as a processional for bride or bridesmaids, or as a wedding prelude piece, Storybook Love brings to our memories our hero Westley (farm boy), and Buttercup, his enchanting bride-to-be who is in love with the stable boy.
We had a lot of fun putting this magical song together, and it’s one of the favorites of visitors to our site – and one of our top selling songs as well. This arrangement opens with the familiar Princess Bride theme played on classical guitar with a backdrop of strings, harp, and oboe. For a longer version, which may suit your wedding processional or prelude needs better, follow this link. In this arrangement, there is about one minute of music, as heard in the movie soundtrack, before we hear the familiar and haunting melody that transports us to the world of our favorite storybook couple.
lyrics
Storybook Love (Princess Bride Theme)
Come my love I'll tell you a tale
Of a boy and girl and their love story
And how he loved her oh so much
And all the charms she did possess
Now this did happen once upon a time
When things were not so complex
How he worshipped the ground she walked
And when he looked in her eyes he became obsessed.
My love is like a storybook story
But it's as real as the feelings I feel
My love is like a storybook story
But it's as real as the feelings I feel
It's as real as the feelings I feel
This love was stronger than the powers so dark
A prince could have within his keeping
His spells to weave and steal a heart
Within her breast but only sleeping
My love is like a storybook story
But it's as real as the feelings I feel
My love is like a storybook story
But it's as real as the feelings I feel
It's as real as the feelings I feel
He said, "Don't you know I love you oh so much
And lay my heart at the foot of your dress?"
She said, "Don't you know that storybook loves
Always have a happy ending?"
Then he swooped her up just like in the books
And on his stallion they rode away
My love is like a storybook story
But it's as real as the feelings I feel
My love is like a storybook story
But it's as real as the feelings I feel
