You


Are the light

The light of my heart


You


Shine so bright

Like the stars in the sky


You


And your eyes

So blue like the ocean


You

And rose cheeks
Soft pink like your lips


You

Are so sweet
Like the sugar in my tea

You

Have my heart
Locked away in a tower somewhere

You

Are so beautiful
I want you to be mine
You
Are so charming
It's hard to stay mad at you
You
Stole my heart
And won't let me take yours
