Legend of a Girl Child Linda Donovan
I will bring you[Cm] gold apples and gra[Fm]pes made [Cm]of ruu--bies[Fm] [Ab]
That have shone in the [Fm]eyes of [Bb] a prince of the breeze.
[Cm]Bright cascading c[Fm]rystals, [Cm]they danced in the [Fm]saaand [Ab]dunes
On the beach of no [Fm]footprints [Bb] to harpsichord tunes.
[Cm]A throne of white [Fm]ivory, [Cm]a gown of white [Fm]laaaa[Ab]ce
Lies still in the m[Fm]agic [Bb] of a timeless place.
[Cm]One hundred small [Fm]children, [Cm]they laugh at the w[Fm]hiiiiite [Ab]doves
That rest on their [Fm]hands [Bb]with the touch of love.
[Cm]On a hillside of [Fm]velvet [Cm] the children [Fm]theeeeey lay [Ab]down
And make fun of the [Fm]grown-ups [Bb] with their silly frown.
[Cm]And the sound of their[Fm] laughter [Cm]is the sound of the g[Fm]reeeen [Ab]sea
As it washed around [Fm]the foot of [Bb] the seashell tree.
( Orchestration )
[Cm]The doves circle [Fm]over [Cm] and land in the [Fm]treee[Ab]es
Where parrots are ta[Fm]lking [Bb] their words with such ease.
[Cm]Thus spoke three [Fm]wizards [Cm] to the young ones that [Fm]daaa[Ab]y:
"There's sadness in [Fm]the kingdom, [Bb] make it go far away."
[Cm]If you follow the [Fm]sunbeams [Cm] through the valley of [Fm]floooo[Ab]wers
To the palace of the [Fm]White Queen [Bb] with its white jade towers.
[Cm]The youngest, she [Fm]sighed then [Cm]the clouds drew [Fm]awaaa[Ab]ay
And a hundred small [Fm]fingers [Bb]scratched their heads in dismay.
[Cm] [Fm] [Cm] [Fm] [Ab]
And the children got [Fm]ready [Bb] to sit on its wings.
[Cm]They waved to the[Fm] raindrops [Cm]as they soared over the [Fm]tree[Ab]es
The wind tossed their [Fm]hair high, [Bb]flashing gold on the sea.
( Orchestration )
[Cm]They came to the [Fm]castle [Cm] and there they did [Fm]faaaaa[Ab]ll,
And they saw all the [Fm]sadness, [Bb]through the crystal wall.
[Cm]A princess lay a-[Fm]sleeping [Cm] so gentle and [Fm]kiiiin[Ab]d
Whilst her prince [Fm]took to battle [Bb]with his confused mind.
[Cm]The clash of [Fm]bright metal [Cm] brought the children [Fm]feee[Ab]ar,
But their cloaks of [Fm]blue satin [Bb] dried up all of these tears.
( Orchestration )
[Cm]Thus children held [Fm]hands and [Cm] they spelled out their [Fm]naaa[Ab]ame
All the golden [Fm]children [Bb]became a golden chain.
( Orchestration )
[Cm]It lies on a [Fm]white throne [Cm] in a magic [Fm]plaa[Ab]ace
With a tunic of [Fm]velvet [Bb]and a gown of white lace.
( Orchestration )
[Cm]My sword, it lies [Fm]broken [Cm]and cast in a [Fm]laaa[Ab]ke
In a dream I was [Fm]told that [Bb]my princess would wake.
