Chris Cornell - Only These Words lyrics

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 up tears of joy
Staring at the tiny face of
A miracle she made

She would say I love you
She would say I love you

Summer came and went unrolling
Trees all stripped to the bone
Daddy’s little girl in his arms
Well, they sit upon his throne
Who is that thief hiding in the dark?
Just a little girl who stole his heart
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 you wanna keep
Clever lips can be misleading
A tongue can fly away, it won’t come back
But it’s only these words we recognize

Six o’clock AM, the alarm rings out
Awoken from a dream
No more castle down a long road
No more kings and no more queens
But she’s a princess nonetheless
And a handsome prince is what she’ll get

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
