Lyrics

Once upon a long, long time ago, in the land of Broken Dreams
There lived a gentle princess who hoped to be the Queen.
She was as beautiful as moonlight on a rose in Buddha's yard.
But her perfect smile could not conceal the sadness in her heart.

'Cause all the king's horses and all the king's men
Can't fill up the canyon where love should have been.
It all looked so easy, but it goes by so fast
And all the king's horses can't make it last.

In the mountains to the east, there lived a lonely frog
Who spent his whole life croaking in some hot and smoky bog.
He had a dream that he was different and that even frogs can fly.
But his dream had cost his kingdom and love had passed him by.

And all the king's horses and all the king's men
Can't fill up the canyon where love should have been.
It all looked so easy, but it goes by so fast
And all the king's horses can't make it last.

We thought we'd all be rich. We thought we'd rule the world.
Just a little more might be enough.
The hunger never stops. It all turns into dust.
The only thing left standing is love.

The details aren't important. The princess kissed the frog.
Merlin snapped his fingers and Cupid did his job.
And I'd like to thank the princess. You made my dream come true.
And if I ever get my kingdom back I'll give it all to you.

'Cause all the king's horses and all the king's men
Can't fill up the canyon where love should have been.
It all looked so easy, but it goes by so fast
And all the king's horses can't make it last . . .
All the king's horses can't make it last.
