Lyrics
Let’s sing along with the lyrics!
I believe in fairy talesWhere knights in shinin’ armor come along You were my knight in shining armor And you stole my heart with a songYou gave me a castle and a princessAnd I was the world’s proudest queen And then came the dragon in the bottle And I watched as it slowly slayed the kingAnd we all live happy never afterFor we just put the castle up for sale But I guess that I will always be a dreamer For I still believe in fairy tales I still believe in fairy tales
