Comparisons are odious says the proverb; making them in a love song, you might as well go all out.
The opening lines I had written 30 years ago and never used; this period of quiet is good for finding stuff to clearout.

You Could Have Been Cinderella

you could have been Cinderella
I could have found your shoe
or Helen trapped in Troy I`d build a horse
to rescue you

I could have been Mr Darcy
saved by your better self
or losing Cleopatra Dick losing Liz
to a bottle on the shelf

it wasn`t like that
pick a love story from a hat
it was better than that

halfway along a tightrope
between the sun and moon
just like Hollywood our hands touching
not a moment too soon

we learned the star alphabet
your hearts secret I read
that`s how we met

you could have been Cinderella
I could have found your shoe
would that feel like holding hands
between the sun and moon

we learned the star alphabet
my hearts secret you read
pick a love story from a hat
it was better than that
