[Verse 1]
I meant to call her name
I meant to take her hand
I meant to be the same and understand
Just what was happening in the evening
Between the princess and the prince
[Verse 2]
I can't be bothered now
And I cannot eat or drink
I can't remember how I used to think
What was the song she sang before the morning rang
And brought the princess to the prince?
[Chorus]
It's a ringing crystal way
She has about her in my day
But she's a laughing dappled shadow
Hey, a laughing dappled shadow in my night
[Verse 3]
And if I could hear her voice
And if I could see her face
If I could have a choice I'd be in the place
Well, where I saw her last on the evening past
Of the princess and the prince
[Chorus]
It's a ringing crystal way
She has about her in my day
But she's a laughing dappled shadow
Hey, a laughing dappled shadow in my night
[Verse 1]
I meant to call her name
I meant to take her hand
I meant to be the same and understand
Just what was happening in the evening
Between the princess and the prince
