The princess was very lonely and dreamed of the day,
Her prince would come and rescue her and sweep her away.
Beautiful golden brown hair with every hair in place,
Combed ever so softly back away from her lovely face.

Her long flowing gown reaching all the way to the floor,
She was breathtaking, which no one in the kingdom could ignore.
The finest threads were used by the seamstress of silver and gold,
To spin beautiful dresses for the princess, a true sight to behold.

But out of the gloom of the castle the princess longed to be,
To remain forever in the arms of her prince, safe and free.
Her prince would hold her tight in his arms from that day on,
He would not only be handsome, he would also be strong.

She told all of her ladies in waiting how she longed for him,
But with each passing day she waited her hopes grew dim.
The princess looked out the castle window as far as she could see,
Was her prince out in the back beyond the ancient oak tree.

She tried to get down the long stairs as fast as she could,
No one must see the princess running, it would not be understood.
Racing to the door to look out onto the street at the people there,
She looked both ways but did not see her prince anywhere.

The Fairy Godmother was right there as she came back in,
“My princess where have you been?”
“If it is the prince in your dreams you are longing for,
You must once again my dear, go back out the front door.”
“Stepping out of your dreams is the only way,
Your prince awaits you in the carriage with a lovely bouquet.”

There outside was the carriage it had not been there before,
The prince she had always dreamed of opened the carriage door.
A new journey for two young lovers hearts now bound as one,
A lifetime together forever . . . just begun.
