My Fairy Prince 1913 'Her Little Highness'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 19 May 2005

A wonderful land is fairy land,
on top of a golden hill
for the way you must look in a fairy book,
where fancy can roam at will
where fancy can roam at will.
There are dwarves and giants and ogres grim,
and minstrels and knights so brave
but the best of all is the Fairy Prince,
The Princess who comes to save
The Princess who comes to save.

Ev'ry girl dreams of a prince,
to come some day
A Fairy Knight in armor bright,
or home spun grey.
Ah, if he loves her truly
tho' lowly and poor he seems.
He will always be the hero of her dreams.

Ah fairy land how soon forgot,
the giants and ogres grim
for when childhood is gone
and our lives flow on,
it's pictures and tales grow dim,
the pictures and tales grow dim.
But a woman waits for her fairy Prince,
the lover so gay and bold
till her eyes grow dim at the thought of him,
and all but her heart is old
and all but her heart is old.

Ev'ry girl dreams of a prince,
to come some day
A Fairy Knight in armor bright,
or home spun grey.
Ah, if he loves her truly
tho' lowly and poor he seems.
He will always be the hero of her dreams.

He will be,
will be the Hero of her dreams.
