Sleeping Beauty © Stephan Feinberg & Sun PK

I woke up this morning

   And quietly slipped out the door

The sun was just rising

   I felt the fresh air of the dawn

The fairy-tale we’ve been in

   Isn’t true anymore

At last I’m awaking from childhood dreams

   That lasted too long

Chorus:

I thought I was sleeping beauty

When your kiss came softly to me

Sorry, my mistake

Sleeping beauty’s finally awake

Old love letters fade

   And eventually crumble away

I re-read all of yours

   Only to realize

They were storybook images

   That I believed yesterday

Now I’ve got my own story to write

   And it won’t be made of lies

Chorus

Bridge:

The note will explain why it’s too painful

   To tell you why to your face

I’m not in the right story

   If tears fall in the wrong place

Chorus
