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 bones

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.
