In a tiny country town, sat a lonely lass;
Underneath a willow tree;
She longed for love to come,  love to come.

 

In his far-off castle throne, lived a lonely prince..
Left his castle on the hill,
Went off to find a mate, find a mate.

 

'S quite alarming to see Prince Charming;
Thru my princess veil--
It's something out of Hollywood!
I see what's brewing, a big debuting,
FAIRY TALES do not come true!

 

Then came the day when the village heard he'd come to town;
And they were called to the square;
All the people went to see their prince;
Everyone
Except the lonely lass with dreaming eyes;
She spent her day by the willow tree,
And dreamed her day away.

 

(Refrain)

 

None of the village maidens were his dream come true;
And so he thanked all the square,
And proceeded on his search for love;
On the way
He saw a lovely lass with dreaming eyes;
He stopped right there by the willow tree
And took his dream away.

 

(Refrain)
