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 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
The summer came and went, autumn rolled in
The trees all stripped to bone
Daddy’s little girl in his arms while
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 we want to hear
And clever lips can be misleading
A tongue can fly away and won't come down
But it’s only these words we need right now
Six o’clock a.m., her alarm rings out
Awoken from a dream
No more castle down a long road
And no more kings and no more queens
But she’s a princess nonetheless
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
