Sherrezade:
I know a thousand tales to fill a thousand nights
But now another story comes to mind
A noble, young vizier ascends to wondrous heights
He's brilliant as he's handsome, and handsome as he's kind
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
Now I'm face to face with one
I can't seem to recall
I know a thousand tales to fill a thousand nights
But now another story comes to mind
A noble, young vizier ascends to wondrous heights
He's brilliant as he's handsome, and handsome as he's kind
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
Now I'm face to face with one
I can't seem to recall
