Lyrics
Once on a time
In a kingdom by the sea
Lived a young prince sad and lonely
Under enchantment of magic mystery
To be set free by one only
Weary he waited while years sped along
Came then a maid pure and holy
Love broke the spell so the story books tell
And he laid at her feet this song
Refrain
You are my song of love, melody immortal
Echo of Paradise
Heard through Heaven’s portal
Soft your music is singing, bringing
Secrets sweet in its song to me
Your vision shines on me from above
You are my song of songs
All the glory of love
Performance
