lyrics

Once upon a time
In a land not much different than mine
There was a boy who swore he could fly
Whenever he looked into the princess' eyes

And so the story goes
He's just a popper in tattered clothes
But he prayed every night
And wished upon a star
And his prayer went a little bit like this

God, hear my cry
And I'll slay a dragon if I have to tonight
For just one sight
Of her heart intertwined with mine
But your will not mine
Yes your will not mine

At last there came a day
When she was just a stones throw away
His moment had come so fast
This moment he did not want it to slip his grasp

And so the story goes
He's just a poor boy that nobody knows
But he stepped out from the crowd
And sang to her out loud
And his song sang a little bit like this

Darling, hear my cry
And I'll slay a dragon if I have to tonight
For just one sight
Of your heart intertwined with mine
But the Lord's will not mine, Yes the Lord's will not mine

But it would be fine
If we could ride
On this magic carpet tonight
And we can dance
Under a curtain of stars
Where only the heavens can see us from afar

Oh well, Christmas is approaching... time to buy at least one Christmas album! I'm not a fan of Christmas, as it is celebrated today, nor do I like the typical cheesy Christmas music played everywhere these days. So it had to be something special. The "crash test" for this album was the version of "Silent Night", which nobody managed to get right so far. Well, with the exception of "Falling Up". Frankly, as a fan of Jessy Ribordy, I'm not surprised that much... Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
