Subject: Origins: There Was a Princess Long Ago
Charlie Baum sang this tonight. It was inspiring. Anybody have background information or alternate lyrics?

There was a princess long ago,
Long ago, long ago
There was a princess long ago
Long, long ago

And she lived in a big high tower
A big high tower, a big high tower
And she lived in a big high tower
Long, long ago

A wicked fairy cast a spell,
Cast a spell, cast a spell
A wicked fairy cast a spell
Long, long ago

The princess slept for a hundred years
A hundred years, A hundred years
The princess slept for a hundred years
Long, long ago

A big, tall forest grew around
Grew around, grew around
A big, tall forest grew around
Long, long ago

A handsome prince came riding by
Riding by, riding by
A handsome prince came riding by
Long, long ago

He drew his sword and cut it down
Cut it down, cut it down
He drew his sword and cut it down
Long, long ago

He woke the princess with a kiss
With a kiss, with a kiss
He woke the princess with a kiss
Long, long ago

And everybody’s happy now
Happy now, happy now
And everybody’s happy now
Long, long ago
