Once upon a time in a fairy tale,
They said their vows before the altar,
He lifted up her vail,
And she said the words, "I'll love you
'Til the end of time,
I'll always be your dream come true,
And you'll always be mine."

I wanna have a love like that,
Like a woman should love a man.
I don't want her to be the best,
Just to be the best she can.
I wanna have something real.
I wanna have something good.
Well, I never have, but I wonder if I could...
Have a love like that.

I saw her kiss him at the county fair.
She held him close and told him
That she'd always be there,
And I can still remember that look in his eyes
That confidence and having faith
In a love that never dies...

I wanna have a love like that,
Like a woman should love a man.
I don't want her to be the best,
Just to be the best she can.
I wanna have something real.
I wanna have something good.
Well, I never have, but I wonder if I could...
Have a love like that.

But even in my darkest hour,
I know that
She is out there looking for me...
And maybe someday soon
I'll look up at the moon
Then look down into
The bright green eyes
Of my own eternity...

I wanna have a love like that,
Like a woman should love a man.
I don't want her to be the best,
Just to be the best she can.
I wanna have something real.
I wanna have something good.
Well, I never have, but I wonder if I could...
Have a love like that...
Have a love like that...
I wanna have a love like that...
I wanna have a love...
Like that.
