      Fairytale by Alexander Rybak is one of my 9 graders' favorite songs. We have so much fun while singing this song. It is very easy to hear the words and can be used for an elementary level class. Enjoy!

       

      FAIRYTALE

      Years ago, when I ………..(1) younger

      I kinda ………… (2) a girl I ………..(3)

      She ……….. (4) mine and we ………..  (5) sweethearts

      That ………..(6)  then but then it's true

      Chorus

      I'm in love with a fairytale, even though it hurts

      'Cause I don't care if I lose my mind

      I'm already cursed

      Every day we ……….. (7) fighting

       

      Every night we ………..(8) in love

      No one else could make me sadder

      But no one else could lift me high above

      I don't know, what I ……….. (9) doing

       

      When suddenly, we ……….. (10)  apart

      Nowadays, I can not find her

      But when I do, we'll get a brand new start
