Precious Princess

Sarah, my most precious princess,
I worship the day you were born.
You're the angel of my dreams and
I love you more than life itself.

Angels sent me one of their own,
Sarah, my most precious princess.
When I tickle your baby toes
your laugh is so sweet, my darling.

Curly golden locks of hair form
a crown, befitting a princess.
Sarah, my most precious princess,
you'll reign forever in my heart.

Someday, a man may make you queen,
but for now, you are my princess.
And I'm your most devout servant
Sarah, my most precious princess.


(Quatern)
