The Silent Princess: A Land of Stories

THE SILENT PRINCESS-Chapter One

(Enjoy!)

—All Grown Up—
If you must blink, dear children, do it now! But you must be warned, if you fidget, if you look away, if you forget any parts of what I tell you, then our heroes will surely perish!...

—Part One—
'We were both young,
when I first saw you!
I close my eyes and
the flashback starts:
I'm standing there on
a balcony in summer air!

See the lights, see the party,
the ball gowns!
See you make your way,
through the crowd,
And say, "Hello!"
Little did I know!...

That you were Romeo,
you were throwing pebbles!...
And my daddy said,
"Stay away from Juliet."
And I was crying on the staircase-!
Begging you, "Please don't go!"
And I said...

Romeo, take me somewhere,
we can be alone!
I'll be waiting;
all that's left to do is run!
You'll be the prince
and I'll be the princess,
It's a love story, baby,
just say "Yes!"

So I sneak out to,
the garden to see you!
We keep quiet
'cause we're dead,
if they knew,
So close your eyes,
Escape this town
for a little while!
Oh, oh...

'Cause you were Romeo,
I was a scarlet letter!
And my daddy said,
"Stay away from Juliet!"
But you were everything to me,
I was begging you,
"Please don't go!..."
And I said!...

Romeo, take me somewhere,
we can be alone!
I'll be waiting;
all that's left to do is run!
You'll be the prince,
and I'll be the princess!
It's a love story, baby,
just say "Yes!"

Romeo, save me!
They're trying to tell me,
how to feel!
This love is difficult,
but it's real!
Don't be afraid,
we'll make it out of this mess!
It's a love story, baby,
just say "Yes!"
Oh, oh, oh!

I got tired of waiting,
Wondering if you,
were ever coming around!
My faith in you was fading,
When I met you,
on the outskirts of town!
And I said...

Romeo, save me!
I've been feeling so alone!
I keep waiting for you,
but you never come!
Is this in my head?
I don't know what to think!
He knelt to the ground,
and pulled out a ring and said...

Marry me, Juliet,
you'll never have to be alone!
I love you, and
that's all I really know!
I talked to your dad –
go pick out a white dress,
It's a love story,
baby, just say "Yes".
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!

'Cause we were both young,
when I first saw you!'

—Part Two—
'Spending my vacation
in the summer sun!
Gettin' lots of action
and a lots of fun!
Scorin' like a bandit
'til the bubble burst -
Suddenly it got to
be September First!...

Woe is me, all summer long,
I was happy and free-!
Save my soul,
the board of education
took away my parole!
I gotta go back, back,
back to school again!

You won't find me
'til the clock strikes three;
I'm gonna be there 'til then!...
I gotta go back, back,
back to school again!!
Whoa, whoa, I gotta go...
back to school again!!

Geometry and history
is just a pain-!
Biology and chemistry
destroys my brain-!
Well don't they know
that I deserve a better fate?!
I'm really much too young
to matriculate!
