Before you met me I was a fairy princess
|
I caught frogs and called them prince
|
And made myself a queen
|
Before you knew me I'd traveled 'round the world
|
I slept in castles
|
And fell in love
|
Because I was taught to dream
|
|
I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top
|
To capture Tinker Bell
|
And they were just fireflies to the untrained eye
|
But I could always tell
|
|
I believe in fairy tales
|
And dreamer's dreams
|
Like bedsheet sails
|
I believe in Peter Pan
|
And miracles, and anything I can to get by
|
And fireflies
|
|
Before I grew up I saw you on a cloud
|
I could bless myself in your name
|
And pat you on your wings
|
Before I grew I heard you whisper so loud
|
life is hard and so is love
|
Child, believe in all these things
|
|
I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top
|
To capture Tinker Bell
|
they were just fireflies to the untrained eye
|
But I could always tell
|
|
I believe in fairy tales
|
And dreamer's dreams
|
Like bedsheet sails
|
And I believe in Peter Pan
|
And miracles, and anything I can to get by . . .
|
And fireflies
|
And fireflies . . .
|
|
Before you met me I was a fairy princess
|
I caught frogs and called them prince
|
And made myself a queen
|
Before you knew me I'd traveled 'round the world
|
AndI slept in castles
|
And fell in love
|
Because I was taught to dream
