He struggled so hard to be king |
|
Working night and day |
|
Dreaming of only one thing |
|
Never a holiday |
|
Somewhere along the way |
|
He forgot she was only a girl |
|
Now his kingdom has fallen |
|
And it's really quite a tragic tale |
|
'Cause he built a castle to harbor his queen |
|
But the queen claimed he built her a jail |
|
He struggled so hard to be king |
|
He wanted everything |
|
He built her a house by the sea |
|
Just to keep her in |
|
Somewhere along the way |
|
He forgot she needed a friend |
|
Now his kingdom has fallen |
|
And it's really quite a tragic tale |
|
'Cause he built a castle to harbor his queen |
|
And the queen claimed he built her a jail |
|
It happened so quickly before he could know |
|
She was gone, far gone |
|
Far from the castle, the diamonds and things |
|
She had worn to the ball |
|
There was a note that she carefully wrote |
|
Signed it best wishes to all |
|
Oh you struggled so hard to be king |
|
Working night and day |
|
Dreaming of only one thing, never a holiday |
|
Somewhere along the way |
|
You forgot that I needed a man |
|
When they found him |
|
They took him back where he belonged |
|
And his family and friends saw him annually |
|
And they say it's a shame what's become of the king |
