I could be your Johnny and you could be my June
And marry you beneath a paper moon
You could be Liz Taylor and fall in love with me
I'll be Richard Burton and never leave
I can't buy you all the things a yearning heart desires
But I can give you everything that burns within my fire
I am just a smalltown boy in a big world on my own
And I can't give you all the riches and jewels you'd like to own
But we could be a great love story, a saga for the age
And I will write you every song I can put down on this page
A saga for the age
A saga for the age
You be Cleopatra and I, Mark Antony
And make love in the temple while the city sleeps
You're Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler is me
And frankly I do give a damn about this thing
I don't have a limousine to come and drive you home
And I can't film a movie scene without you on my own
I am just a smalltown boy In a big world on my own
And I can't give you all the riches and jewels you'd like to own
But we could be a great love story, a saga for the age
And I will write you every song I can put down on this page
A saga for the age
A saga for the age
I'll be John Fitzgerald and you be Jackie O
And shelter me from everything that life will throw
In a hail of bullets like Bonny and Clyde
We will live forever 'cos we'll never die
I am just a smalltown boy In a big world on my own
And I can't give you all the riches and jewels you'd like to own
But we can be a great love story, a saga for the age
And I will write you every song I can put down on this page
A saga for the age
A saga for the age
A saga for the age
A saga for the age
