The beautiful Princess always said 
every night before she went to bed…
I’ll meet you on the other side 
when the sun comes up
and begins to shine…
when the world has spun 
a million times.
This was the story I always read
just before, (Marleh), went to bed…
Once upon a time in a faraway land…
large castles glistened upon golden sand..
A beautiful Princess sang a song
by the sea - in the sun…
sometimes singing all day long…
under the stars, 
under a the moon
she sang a melody,
a special tune…
Her words…her song
had been magic all along…
the animals, the dolphins, and all the birds in tree’s…
they had carried her song in the summer breeze
echoing her magic, 
she sang her song…
echoing her love all summer long.
The world had spun a million times..
and the sun was up and— it did shine…
Princess Marleh was all grown up…
no longer the age of nine…
She’d gone off to college, and gained some knowledge
still she hoped a Prince had heard her song…
she had been singing that melody for so very long.
Across the mountain …and over the sea
lived a handsome Prince 
as lonely as can be
one day while under the stars
he heard a melody - a special tune
he heard the sound of Marleh’s voice
while standing under the moon
from across the ocean sea’s
her magical song had floated in 
on a magical ocean breeze. 
The Prince saddled his horse…
that could fly.. of course..
traveling across the sea..
He said, 
“Oh, Princess Marleh…
will you please join me 
for an afternoon cup of tea?”
And that’s the story of “once upon…”
as the two lived..happily… 
happily on…
