Song Of The Fairy Princess

In the still and dark of night she spreads her silvery wings
Then drifts across the starlit skies as wistfully she sings
A melancholy song of love that fills the nighttime air
The nightingale then adds its voice to her sweet sadness there

Little fairy princess sing your song of long lost love
What sad fate has befallen the dear one you’re thinking of?
Your fairy prince has gone away and never will return
But in your heart your love for him eternally will burn

Then as your haunting melody drifts out across the glens
The woodland creatures weep for you as your sad song begins
They long to ease the aching pain that stirs within your heart
To see your love return again so you may never part

I listen every evening as each golden note you sing
Each time my eyes get misty from the teardrops that they bring
Tiny fairy princess, my heart also breaks in two
Oh how I wish there was a way to bring your love to you

You see, my love has left me too, so I will share your pain
My heart will ache along with yours on every sad refrain
So it will be each evening, for my bygone love I’ll long
While listening, oh so sadly, to the fairy princess’ song
