The Princess and Her Shoes

Oh, Princess fairest of them all,
What troubles you, and what made you fall?

Why Shoemaker so handsome and tall,
I need new shoes, that's why I had a fall.
It's not for a dance or a ball you see,
It's just so I can walk around so beautifully.

Oh, lovely lady whose beauty I can't forsake,
I will make the shoes which you can take.
Thy beauty I can't deny, whose lovey and fair,
I will create thy shoes, so don't worry, don't despair.

Why Shoemaker thank you so much,
I will treasure thy shoes you make, with your loving touch.
How may I repay you, what can I do?
To show my devotion to you?

Oh, fairest princess, lovely and full of grace,
I require no payment just to look upon your face.

Oh, handsome shoemaker that I can do,
I will spend an eternity sharing my days with you.

And so, the beautiful princess had shoes so lovely and fair,
made by the handsome shoemaker who dared to care.
