Only These Words

In a castle Down a long road A little girl was born To a king and To a queen and Her mother's eyes welled With tears of joy Staring at the tiny face Of the miracle she made She would say I love you She would say I love you Summer came and went Autumn rolled in Trees all stripped to bone Daddy's little girl In his arms while They sit upon his throne Who is that thief Hiding in the dark? Just the little girl who stole his heart And he would say I love you He would say I love you He would say I love you With only these three words repeating A simple greeting But it's all we want to hear And clever lips can be misleading A tongue can fly away And won't come down But it's only these words We need right now Six o'clock am Her alarm rings out Awoken from a dream No more castle Down a long road No more king and no more queens But she's a princess nonetheless And a handsome prince is what she'll get And he will say I love you He will say I love you He will say I love you He will say I love you He will say I love you He will say I love you
