Once upon a time,
With the stars
So bright on shine,
Came upon this earth,
The little dusky princess.
She was the little princess,
Who fell from the stars,
And over the twenty years
She grew upon us,
The lady dusky princess.
Oh dear dusky princess
You remind me of
Sweet sixteen,
When life was a fairy story.
Oh dear dusky princess
You remind me of my
Nineteen, when there was
Hardly any worry.
I wish I could be
The dusky princess again
But life is not that to be
Now that I have dreams
Of life and poverty
Now that I chase
Days of misery
I wish, you be the dusky
Princess forever,
May you shine the same,
As you do now and ever.
