In a Crowd of Thousands

It was June, I was ten
I still think of that day now and then
A parade and a girl
And a crowd of thousands

She sat straight as a queen
Only eight, but so proud and serene
How they cheered, how I stared
In that crowd of thousands

Then, I started to run
And to call out her name
As the crowd on the road went wild
I reached out with my hand and looked up
And then she smiled

The parade travelled on
With the sun in my eyes, she was gone
But if I were still ten
In that crowd of thousands
I'd find her again

You're making me feel I was there too
Maybe you were
Make it part of your story

A parade (a parade)
Passing by (passing by)

It was hot
Not a cloud in the sky
Then, a boy caught my eye
In a crowd of thousands

He was thin
Not too clean
There were guards
But he dodged in between
Yes, he made himself seen
In that crowd of thousands

Then, he called out my name
And he started to run
Through the sun, and the heat, and crowd
And I tried not to smile, but I smiled
And then, he bowed

I didn't tell you that
You didn't have to
I remember

The parade travelled on
With the sun in my eyes, you were gone
But I knew even then
In a crowd of thousands
I'd find you again

Your Highness
