I like all the allusions to different fairy tales and children's poems in this. To me it suggests that the lyrics are about the imagination of a child and the struggle to regain the innocence that we once had. And the whole album you could say.
So in love with this new single! It's totally worth the wait of six years.
That said, I agree with RemusEiren; the lyrics posted at the top sound a lot more accurate. I guess we'll have to wait for either the booklet or for lyrics to go up on the Nightwish website.
Quite agreed! and yeah we do need to wait for one of those.. there's some small errors still, it looks like. but oh well.

The original lyrics above are correct minus the verse "limitless chest of dreams". It is actually "limitless chest of tales" rather than "dreams". I'm irritated like no other because the lyrics posted everywhere else are wrong. My friend showed me the lyrics from the single from the actual back of the case and I was so irritated to find out it wasn't "empty grave of Peter Pan" because that was actually my favorite lyric. I was singing this song wrong for over a week now!
Although „Storytime” was written to illustrate the feeling during watching Snowman and it is general tribute to the storytellers and stories (movies, books, etc.) there is a great concept behind - inversion, changing roles.You don’t read the story because the story „will read you real" it means that having contact with stories/art., you will discover yourself and you will „caress” what is the most important for you
It can be also reagarded as a metaphor of whole Imaginerum album, this album (story) — will read you

The first two verses are a reference to the popular Christmas poem "A visit from St. Nicholas".
I believe these are some of the best lyrics that Tuomas has ever wiritten. They really fit well in the catchy and joyful sound of the song and are just perfect to introduce the listner to imaginaerum
i love this song its amazing always loved nightwish i like their new singer she sounds good but their old one was better in my opinion

I see what I believe are several minor errors in the lyrics shown here. Other websites online show the correct lyrics. Perhaps most importantly, the lyrics are "empty crib of peter pan" not "empty grave of peter pan." The empty crib... Peter Pan leaving the "real world" and gone to Never Land, which follows through with the theme of the entire album.
