Little Prince

I'm not from here
I come from the stars
a place so small no one knows it at all
a world of my own afar
I flew away from there
to escape the one I love
it seems awful to say but she chased me away
with her tender pretentions, I just couldn't stay
so I left her alone, in the wind she is blowing
left her right, closing her eyes, never knowing
what's coming her way, who's keeping her safe
the more that I see, more I wish I'd stayed
back home, there, where no one could see
and I hope she waits for me
I'm not from here
I come from the stars
I've come to believe every grown man I've seen
is only a child at heart
I left her alone
in the wind she is blowing
left her right, closing her eyes, never knowing
what's coming her way, who's keeping her safe
the more that I see, the more I wish I'd stayed
back home, there, where no one could see
and I hope she waits for me
I've seen roses
and they seem like the closest
but none of them were quite like my flower
I was far too young to know how to love you
but I am old enough to know this now
back home, back there where no one can see
I hope she's waiting for me
