Could This be a Story
Papa
dear Papa
tell me the time
when the dragon breathed fire on the sea
Oh Sweetheart
my Sweetheart
there are reasons too many
we won’t tell that story today
But Papa
dear Papa
I know this old story
you’ve told it since I’ve held a bottle
Stories need telling
and children are asking
and I ask for your telling today
Oh Sweetheart
my Sweetheart
this tale is too true
there are fires and dragons everywhere now
As we sit in our chair
together one love
there are fires and dragons everywhere now
…
Papa
dear Papa
could this be a story…
There once was a Papa
who cried out a storm
that doused out that dragon
that cooled the sea
that floated the boat
that took us away
my Papa and me
Could this be a story dear Papa?
