DMITRY:It was June
I was ten
I still think of that day now and then
A parade and a girl
And a crowd of thousands
She sat straight
As a queen
Only eight but so proud and serene
How they cheered
How I stared
In that crowd of thousands
And I started to run
And to call out her name
As the crowd on the road went wild
I reached out with my hand
And looked up
And then she smiled
The parade travelled on
With the sun in my eyes she was gone
But if I were still ten
In that crowd of thousands
I'd find her again
ANYA:You're making me feel I was there too
DMITRY:Maybe you were
Make it part of your story
ANYA:A parade
DMITRY:A parade
ANYA:Passing by
DMITRY:Passing by
ANYA:It was hot not a cloud in the sky
Then a boy
Caught my eye
BOTH:In the crowd of thousands
ANYA:He was thin
Not too clean
There were guards but he dodged in between
Yes he made himself seen
In that crowd of thousands
And he called out my name
And he started to run
Through the sun and the heat and crowd
And I tried not to smile
But I smiled
And then he bowed!
DMITRY:I didn't tell you that
ANYA:You didn't have to!
I remember!
BOTH:The parade travelled on
With a sun in my eyes you were gone
But I knew even then
In a crowd of thousands
I'd find you again!
DMITRY:Your Highness?!
