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
In 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
Traveled 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 a 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 (hey!)
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
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
Traveled 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
