Only These Words - Chris Cornell

In a castle

Down a long road

A little girl was born

To a king and

To a queen and

Her mother’s eyes welled up with tears of joy

Staring at the tiny face

Of a miracle she made

She would say I love you

She would say I love you

Summer came and went

Unrolling trees all stripped to the bone

Daddy’s little girl in his arms, well

They sit upon his throne

Who is that thief hiding in the dark

Just a little girl who stole his heart

He would say I love you

He would say I love you

He would say I love you

With only these three words repeating

A simple greeting but it’s all you keep

Clever lips can be misleading

A tongue can fly away

And won’t come back

But it’s only these words we recognize

The alarm rings out

Awoken from the dream

No more castle down a long road

No more kings and no more queens

But she’s a princess none the less

And a handsome prince is what she’ll get

He will say I love you

He will say I love you

He will say I love you

He will say I love you

He will say I love you
