Lost Princess
There are some hearts, too small, to carry all the pain
The hurt, too much to bare, upon a fragile frame
So hard to face the light of day or find a place to hide
They can not bare to see themselves, afraid to come outside
I can hear you daddy
but I have let you down
and I can't find your princess
anywhere around
I am so sorry daddy
I failed both me and you
I can not find your princess
and I so, miss her too
There are some hearts, too big, where room enough for two
can hold the hurt and woundt, it is what fathers do
the princess isn't lost, at times she can not see
the princess is at home in the heart that belongs to me
I can hear you daddy
but I have lost my way
and I can't find the princess
you played with yesterday
I am so sorry daddy
but the woman that you see
has lost your little princess
on her way to becoming me
A princess is your heart, the woman is your crown
You are no more when standing up, no less when fallen down
You can not ever fail me, you can not let me down
just because your little feet get tangled in a gown
I can hear you daddy
but I wanted you to see
a very special princess
whenever you looked at me
I am so sorry daddy
I wanted me to be
the princess in your eyes
and not the girl I see
Then close your eyes my princess, see with heart instead
You are not measured by my eyes and never by my head
love is much to busy to measure what we've done
it looks at where we're going, not where we are from.
