It was a time of innocence of great expectations, when God still existed
And we believed in princesses and frogs turned into princes
A time when everything was simple,
When we trusted in promises, loyalty and true love
We were young and the morning of life had just begun
Everything was a game, full of dreams and imagination
Nothing impossible on that outstretched road to our enchanted destination
So with a magical belief, hand in hand we built our castles,
And searched the sand for promised buried treasure
Then with time came the little lies of life that broke the rules of the game
Building barriers between us of fears, tears, anger, strife and blame
The game became war full of agony and pain
A once bright beach became a dark storm swept coast
Whose waves did roar up the shore
And in the dark, as we ran, we tripped and fell over those castles of sand
And when I looked you were no more
Now my hair\'s gone gray, and my eyesight has grown dim
So from time to time, I close my eyes going back to that place sublime
Where all wishes came true and all things were believed in
Then on that enchanted beach you come to me and now I see
You’re the lost princess I’ve searched for, so long
And the lies have become nothing more than weakness and folly of youth, As we played our childish games on that magical shore
The agony and pain nothing more than the rocks and stones upon which true love is built
And in my mind, we still play in the ocean spray, in that fanciful land
And nothing else matters but that moment in time when you held my hand
