<br>

Elizabeth:<br>

<br>

So long ago,<br>

So far away,<br>

Once upon a time.<br>

<br>

There lived a young girl,<br>

aloft in a tower,<br>

who cowered behind the gates of her heart.<br>

Her dragons and demons<br>

kept her in prison<br>

<br>

So long ago, <br>

So far away,<br>

Once upon a time.<br>

<br>

She wept every night,<br>

alone and lonely,<br>

only lamenting her sorrowful fate.<br>

She longed for a dream <br>

that belonged to her only<br>

Once upon a time.<br>

<br>

And word of her plight<br>

soon spread far and wide<br>

and suitors would ride in<br>

from faraway lands.<br>

Never one able to suffer fools gladly<br>

madly she'd suffer at all these fools hands<br>

<br>

Sadly she tried <br>

to be brave and be strong<br>

And without any warning<br>

A young prince came along.<br>

<br>

The fire he possessed,<br>

he unchained her spirit.<br>

When she would hear it, <br>

his laughter brought love.<br>

Suddenly, then, as if borne on his magic<br>

she soared from the tower above.<br>

<br>

He swept her away<br>

to his palace of wonder<br>

and soon laid asunder <br>

her demons so neatly.<br>

For she was his muse<br>

and he'd never refuse<br>

and he'd win o'er her heart<br>

for he loved her completely.<br>

<br>

then the cruel world<br>

with its storms and its quaking<br>

set forth to taking<br>

her prince by the hand. <br>

And led him away<br>

so the maiden would see<br>

the prince was magic,<br>

he was merely a man.<br>

<br>

The seasons must change,<br>

and laughter fell silent,<br>

and time takes its toll <br>

on lovers and friends.<br>

And even fairy tales must have an end.<br>

So long ago,<br>

So far away,<br>

back to the dream in her mind.<br>

<br>

No more alone, <br>

yet again lonely,<br>

Once upon a time.<br>

<br>
