A Thousand And One Nights

Verse I know a thousand tales To fill a thousand nights But now another story comes to mind A nobel young vizier Ascends to wondrous heights He's brilliant as he's handsome And handsome as he's kind Pre-Chorus He is at once familiar and unknowable To the frightened girl he meets along the way And to the girl's surprise Something in his eyes Beckons her to know him and inspires her to say I want to know your story I want to know your past So tell me slowly from the start Leave out no detail Savour every part I want to know your story So make the story last I want to know each twist and turn Tell me all I've missed I've so much to learn For when it comes to stories I thought I knew them all But now I'm face to face with one I can't seem to recall verse 2 The young vizier had come To help inspire change But fate has planned an unexpected twist Within the palace walls He discoveres something strange And found a missing part of him He didn't know he missed Pre-Chorus She's at once a comfort and a mystery To the callow man she meets that fateful day She's beautiful and wise And something in her eyes Beckons him to know her and inspires him to say I want to know your story I want to know your past I want to know your future too Fill my days and nights With the tale of you I want to know your story (I want to know your story) So make the story last (So make the story last) And linger over every part Tell it till I know every bit by heart I never cared for stories until you entered mine And now my only wish is that Our plots may intertwine verse 3 But I forget what happens next I'm not sure I understand Remind me how she answers When he asks her for her hand A thousand and one nights with you Is not enough to spend So let's make ours a story with no end So let's make ours a story with no end
