Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Today was a fairytale
You were the prince
I used to be a damsel in distress
You took me by the hand and you picked me up at six
Today was a fairytale
Today was a fairytale
[Verse 2]
Today was a fairytale
I wore a dress
You wore a dark grey t-shirt
You told me I was pretty when I looked like a mess
Today was a fairytale
[Verse 3]
Time slows down
Whenever you're around
[Verse 4]
But can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me
Fell in love when I saw you standing there
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
[Verse 5]
Today was a fairytale
You've got a smile
Takes me to another planet
Every move you make, everything you say is right
Today was a fairytale
[Verse 6]
Today was a fairytale
All that I can say
Is now it's getting so much clearer
Nothing made sense till the time I saw your face
Today was a fairytale
[Verse 7]
Time slows down
Whenever you're around, yeah
[Verse 8]
But can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me
Fell in love when I saw you standing there
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
[Verse 9]
Time slows down whenever you're around
I can feel my heart
It's beating in my chest
Did you feel it?
I can't put this down
[Verse 10]
But can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me
Fell in love when I saw you standing there
It must have been the way
[Verse 11]
But can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me
Fell in love when I saw you standing there
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
[Verse 12]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, yeah
Oh-oh
Today was a fairytale
