All the King’s Horses Lyrics

They say our love was never meant to be
That time would make it just a memory
But they don't know, how can they understand?
We didn't build no castles in the sand

And all the king's horses
All the king's men
Couldn't storm this tower
Of love, my friend
Of love, my friend

They say our life was just a fairy tale
No matter how we try, we must surely fail
But where are they now? And could they ever understand?
This ivory tower was built on rock, not sand

And all the king's horses, baby
All the king's men
Couldn't storm this tower
Of love, my friend
Of love, my friend

All the king's horses
And all the king's men
Couldn't storm this tower
Of love, my friend, yeah
All the king's horses, yeah yeah
All the king's men
Couldn't storm this tower
Of love, my friend

All (all), all the king's horses
All (all), all the king's men
Yeah, yeah, yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
