My Knight*

I still remember all the times
When you couldn't understand
My longing, my loving
When I held out my hand

I still remember your promise
That you said you'd do for me
I still remember it word for word
And what you said you'd always be:

"The day you turn sixteen," you said,
"I'll sweep you off your feet.
I'll be your knight in shining armor,
You'll be my princess in complete.

"I'll love you more and more as each day goes by,
And I hope you'll love me too
But since you have rules to follow,
I will wait for you."

But you already broke your promise -
You left here without me.
Your love is shrinking everyday
And I'm almost sixteen

So I guess that I'll quit waiting
And I will find another knight
But I won't forget your promise
Until you are far out of sight
