Some Day My Prince Will Come
Cassandra Wilson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Somewhere waiting for me
There is someone I'm longing to see
Someone I simply can't help but adore
Someone who'll thrill me forever
Some day my prince will come
Some day I'll find my love
And how thrilling that moment will be
When the prince of my dreams comes to me
He'll whisper, I love you,
And steal a kiss or two
Though he's far away,
I'll find my love some day
Some day when my dreams come true
Some day I'll find my love
Someone to call my own
And I'll know her the moment we meet
For my heart will start skipping a beat
Some day we'll say and do
Things we've been longing to
Though she's far away




I'll find my love some day
Some day when my dreams come true

This is probably my all-time favorite rendition of this song. But "Lyrics written by Ms. Cassandra Wilson???" Larry Morey wrote it in 1937 for Walt Disney's "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs!"

My suspicions became evident. The face and its representations i thought, and it was, this rendition would different. Sensuous, the slow drag is unique, jazzy par excellence 🤔💖

Susanne Shields

Love the lagging beat & the wavering between 3/4 and 4/4. Makes it all soft & crumbling at the edges (like a cake just out of the oven)
