Only These Words Songtext

von Chris Cornell

In a castle
Down a long road
A little girl was born
To a king and
To a queen and
Her mother's eyes welled
With tears of joy
Staring at the tiny face
Of the miracle she made
She would say I love you
She would say I love you
Summer came and went
Autumn rolled in
Trees all stripped to bones
Daddy's little girl
In his arms while
They sit upon his throne
Who is that thief
Hiding in the dark?
Just the little girl who stole his heart
And he would say I love you
He would say I love you
He would say I love you
With only these three words repeating
A simple greeting
But it's all we want to hear
And clever lips can be misleading
A tongue can fly away
And won't come down
But it's only these words
We need right now
Six o'clock am
Her alarm rings out
Awoken from a dream
No more castle
Down a long road
No more king and no more queens
But she's a princess nonetheless
And a handsome prince is what she'll get
And he will say I love you
He will say I love you
He will say I love you
He will say I love you
He will say I love you
He will say I love you.
