00:00Oh
00:37Once upon a time, in a tower of glass and gold
00:45Lived a princess with a heart too pure to hold
00:52She watched every sunrise paint the sky in flame
01:00Whispering a name, she never got to claim
01:07She wore a dress of moonlight, silver threads and dreams
01:15Left the window open, for a love that never seemed
01:22To find a winding path, that led up to her door
01:30She waited, she waited, and she waited evermore
01:38But he never came, through the winter and the rain
01:46He never came, when she called out his name
01:52The stars all kept their silence, the wind forgot her plea
02:01The prince of every story, never came for me
02:25She walked the endless gardens where the roses used to bloom
02:31Searched every shadowed hallway, every empty room
02:39She left a thousand letters, sealed with royal wax and tears
02:46And still the empty road, stayed empty through the years
02:54Her hair turned silver softly, though her beauty never aged
03:02The mirror showed a woman who had never turned the page
03:09No glass slipper waiting, no ballroom left to fill
03:17Just a crown that grew too heavy
03:21On a heart that stayed still
03:28They wrote of happy endings in the book she used to read
03:32Made of kisses in the moonlight and the love that filled the need
03:36But no one ever told her of the pages left unwritten
03:40Of the princess who kept waiting
03:43While the whole world kept living
04:01But he never came
04:04But he never came
04:05Not in daylight, not in dream
04:07He never came, never came
04:12And the silence was extreme
04:17She closed the heavy shutters
04:20Let the candles slowly die
04:24The prince she waited lifetimes for
04:32Never said goodbye
04:37Once upon a time
04:39There was no happily
04:45Just a princess and the echo
04:51Of a love that never came
04:57For me
