She was six years old and fairer than

Snow White could ever be

More radiant than the stars and

Brighter than the sun was she

All the birds would hush their voices

When they heard that princess sing

But there were none more captivated

Than her daddy who was king

(chorus)

She was a little princess

Her hair was golden brown

She wore a diamond tiara

And a long white satin gown

She stood taller than the oak trees

Though she was of little size

And she lived inside the castle

In her daddy’s lovin’ eyes

Now at ten years old the princess rose

Just before the crack of dawn

She went to look for daddy

And found that he was gone

And at thirteen years she looked back, thinkin

How long it had been

And she wondered if the princess had run away with him

(repeat chorus)

Sweet sixteen, kissed many times

Though she still shed a tear

With ev’ry mem’ry of her dad and

How it was when he was near

Lookin’ for the truth and all she found

Was dirty lies

Searchin’ for the princess in

The eyes of other guys

Now eight years have come and gone

She’s got a princess of her own

Wasn’t like she dreamed

As she raised her child alone

But then she met her Heavenly Father

And she’d come to realize

That she was and always will be

A princess in His eyes

Well she IS a little princess

Her hair IS golden brown

She WEARS a diamond tiara

And a long white satin gown

She STANDS taller than the oak trees

Though she IS of little size

And she LIVES inside the castle

In her Daddy’s lovin’ eyes

Now ev’rywhere she goes she sees

The princess in her Daddy’s eyes
