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 that fateful day
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
The young vizier had come to set the city right
But fate had planned an unexpected twist
He met a special girl and much to his delight
She was the missing part of him he didn't know he missed
She is 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 story)
I want to know your past
(I want to know your past)
I want to know each small detail
Come and tell me all
Your enchanting tales
I want to know your story
(I want to know your story)
So make the story last
(So make the story last)
I want to know each twist and turn
(each twist and turn)
Tell me all I've missed
I've so much to learn
I never cared for stories
Until you entered mine
And now my only wish is that
Our plots may intertwine
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
With no end...
-Instrumental-
I want to know your story
So make the story last
I want to know your future too
(Want to know your future too)
Fill my days and nights
With the tale of you oh
I want to know your story
So make the story last
And tell me (tell me)
Tell me (tell me)
Tell me (tell me till I know)
T-t-t-tell me
Tell me (tell me all your stories)
Tell me (tell it to the children)
Ooooohhh (tell me)
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
Oooohhh
