A peasant and a princess,
A servant and a queen.
A forbidden love,
and an unfulfilled dream.
The stars shine down
And the moon shines bright,
All on a night,
Much like tonight.
The music is loud
and the energy is high.
The birds chirp proud
As the breeze blows by.
The tree branches waltz
To a soft graceful tune.
They sway and shake
underneath a large clear moon.
A dreamer sits there,
A lover, a groom.
He combs his sweetheart's hair
As they speak of the moon.
A peasant and a princess,
A servant and a queen.
The beginning of a love,
is the beginning of a dream.
