Singing

Quietly to you as you sleep

Peacefully drifting outwards

Into a dreamworld Camelot

Suddenly made real

Before your very eyes.



Prince Charming doesn't do keg stands

And he doesn't shotgun, either

His love isn't shown in the emptiness

Of words heard over and over

As he rushes out the door.



Prince Charming holds your hand

Even when his friends are around

Knowing he'll hear about it later

But that doesn't matter to him

As much as you.



Prince Charming stays to hold you

At night when you're lonely

Sacrificing life and limb

To fill that void somewhere deep within

The walls you thought were impenetrable.



Prince Charming looks up to you

With passion in his eyes

Forgetting to take you for granted

As your smile finds the little pit

Buried inside his stomach.



Prince Charming is the perfect man

He gives you all you want

But dreams are quickly shattered

As you awake to the sound of my voice

Whispering, "Sleep well"

As I slowly walk out the door.
