いつもより
少し早い待ち合わせをした 遊園地
昨日までの雨がまるで
うそのようなお天気ね
お気に入りのグレイのTシャツ
おそろいで
やけに今日は恋人気取りの 私達
私はいつでも
あなただけのプリンセスよ
このまま手を取り
おとぎの国へ連れてって
目が回るコースターも
あなたとなら平気なの
半分ずつ食べるオレンジは 恋の味
仲間達がうらやましそうな
顔してる
テスト明けまでは
しばらく会えないけど
心配しないで
あなただけを想ってる
目と目でウインク
誰にもわからないように
私はいつでも
あなただけのプリンセスよ
このまま手を取り
おとぎの国へ連れてって

すごいキラキラしてる。そしてこの笑顔。新人賞レースに出る前のリトルプリンセスを歌っていた頃が本人にとって一番幸せだったように思える。くちびるNetworkを歌っていた時とは全然違う。
