Lyrics:
Years ago, when I was younger\\nI kinda liked a girl I knew\\nShe was mine and we were sweethearts\\nThat was then, but then it's true\\n\nI'm in love with a fairytale\\nEven though it hurts\\n'Cause I don't care if I lose my mind\\nI'm already cursed\\n\nEvery day we started fighting\\nEvery night we fell in love\\nNo one else could make me sadder\\nBut no one else could lift me high above\\n\nI don't know what I was doing\\nWhen suddenly, we fell apart\\nNowadays, I cannot find her\\nBut when I do, we'll get a brand new start\\n\nI'm in love with a fairytale\\nEven though it hurts\\n'Cause I don't care if I lose my mind\\nI'm already cursed\\n\nShe's a fairytale, yeah...\\nEven though it hurts\\n'Cause I don't care if I lose my mind\\nI'm already cursed
Norway participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2009 with the song "Fairytale" written and performed by Alexander Rybak. NRK organised the national final Melodi Grand Prix 2009 in order to select the Norwegian entry for the 2009 contest in Moscow, Russia. "Fairytale" performed by Alexander Rybak was selected as the winner with the clearest victory in Melodi Grand Prix to date following a five-week-long competition consisting of three semi-finals, a Second Chance round and the final. Norway was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 14 May 2009. Performing during the show in position 6, "Fairytale" was announced among the top 10 entries of the second semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 16 May.
