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 a miracle she made She would say: I love you She would say: I love you The summer came and went, autumn rolled in The 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 a little girl who stole his heart 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 a.m., her alarm rings out Awoken from a dream No more castle down a long road And no more kings and no more queens But she’s a princess nonetheless And a handsome prince is what she’ll get 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
