Fairy Tale
When the midnight's light is lit from afar,
I'll send magic dreams to you upon a star.
A fairy tale made real lives in them, and then
You'll hear its plain words before you wake again.
You'll open the book, and then you'll leaf through
A fairy tale that can be written by you.
Chapter after chapter made real, and then
The love of your life will reveal itself.
In that fairy tale house, it's waiting for you,
And inside this house, a princess lives, too.
And she, just like you, is infinitely wise,
See how full of light are her pretty, blue eyes...
You two deserve to be happy together
And add a new chapter to this special book.
All of this will happen, my son, but for now,
Grow up and learn how to be kind - only then
Will you preserve the love you have found, so that
The good fairy tale will not turn from its course!
