So the Story Goes (Lyrics & Music by Steve Laurie: 9/5/06)

I met a Spanish troubadour about a thousand years ago, a pretty maid on his knee
He could spin a word to rhyme, capture heart and minds and sweep a girl off her feet
And so she fell in love with him; happy ever after then; so the story goes ...

Over and over and over and over it goes
It goes over, over, over, over

I met a merchant sailor man, sailing from Japan to find a castle at sea
He found a pretty princess there, all alone in her despair, saved her from misery
And so she sailed away with him, another love on the wind, and so the story goes ...

Over and over and over and over it goes
It goes over, over, over, over

Another new year, another love here, another love there and everywhere

He met her at a candy store, where she served petits fours on the Jersey shore
She wore a ribbon in her hair, sparked a love affair, a dream come true for two
And so they fell in love you see, this God sent mystery happens everywhere

Over and over and over and over it goes
It goes over, over, over, over

Another new year, another love here, another new dream, love wins again
