Love In The Real World Lyrics - Singles - Sherrié Austin

There's a picture of a happy couple 

In a frame on a mantle in a house 

Piece by piece, they put their world together 

Some kids, a mortgage and a pair of wedding vows 

She's a mother and a working woman 

He sweats nine to five with big dreams in his head 

There's too much month at the end of the money 

Wolf's at the door and the bankbook's in the red 

I guess every fairy tale has a monster underneath the bed 

Whatever happened to the Prince and Cinderella 

That wide-eyed boy and girl 

What happens after happy-ever-after 

Love in the real world 

She leaves him notes on the refrigerator 

He phones in messages to say he's working late 

So hard to find a tender moment together 

So many modern ways to miscommunicate 

Guess every honey moon has an expiration date 

Whatever happened to the Prince and Cinderella 

That wide-eyed boy and girl 

What happens after happy-ever-after 

Love in the real world 

That old photograph 

May be faded and worn 

But when illusions die 

True love will carry on 

What ever happened to the Prince and Cinderella 

That wide-eyed boy and girl 

They're graduating from happy-ever-after 

To love in the real world 

What happens after happy-ever-after 

Love in the real world 

There's a picture of a happy couple 

In a frame on a mantle in a house
