Once upon a time there was a very friendly princess
Who was captured by a big, grumpy, invisible wizard
He locked her in the tippy top of his tower
And late at night when she was very tired
Getting ready to fall asleep on her bed of stones
She would look out the window
Up into the sky and twiddle her thumbs
And sing a song that she just made up
She didn't know why, it was just about a feeling
That she had and it sounded something like this
I love you from far away like I love the moon
You are the brightest star in my cartoon
Someday I'll find you whoever you are
I know you are out there but where? You couldn't be far
Now this princess got very very smart after years
Of thinking in the tower
And it began to dawn on her that perhaps the
Invisible wizard wasn't even there
So, she approached the gigantic door that kept her locked
Into the tower and she opened it
Then tiptoed carefully down the stairs
To the bottom where lo and behold she walked
Into a clearing in the woods and she was free
And you'll never believe it
But there was an entire village
Of forest animals and people dancing and singing
They had been waiting for her all these years
They sang together
I love you from far away like I love the moon
You are the brightest star in my cartoon
Someday I'll find you, whoever you are
I know you are out there but where? You couldn't be far
Well, that's the end of the story
I'm getting kind of tired
I think I'll go to sleep now, goodnight
