LYRICS:

I know a thousand tales

To fill a thousand nights

But now another story comes to mind

A nobel 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

But now I'm face to face with one

I can't seem to recall

The young vizier had come

To help inspire change

But fate has planned an unexpected twist

Within the palace walls

He discoveres something strange

And found a missing part of him

He didn't know he missed

She's at once a comfort and a mystery

To the callow man she meets that fateful day

She's beautiful and wise

And something in her eyes

 Beckons him to know her and inspires him to say

I want to know your story

I want to know your past

I want to know your future too

Fill my days and nights

With the tale of you

I want to know your story

(I want to know your story)

So make the story last

(So make the story last)

And linger over every part

Tell it till I know every bit by heart

I never cared for stories until you entered mine

And now my only wish is that

Our plots may intertwine

But I forget what happens next

I'm not sure I understand

Remind me how she answers

When he asks her for her hand

Took you long enough

'Yes'! She says 'yes'!

 A thousand and one nights with you

Is not enough to spend

So let's make ours a story with no end

 So let's make ours a story with no end

(...)

  / A thousand and one lifetimes

Is not enough to spend

So let's make ours a story with no end

 So let's make ours a story with no end /
