Ring Around Rosie
Ivory Tower Project Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Like a fairy tale in a story book
You walked into my life and that’s all it took
For me to love you
When it’s late at night and I fall asleep
I awake in your arms then go back to keep
On dreaming of you

Let me be your knight let me be your prince
I will fight for our love and your innocence
My lovely lady
I will love you then and I will love you now
‘Till those old bridges fall down in London town
There is no maybe

Will you come with me, will you take a ride?
On my gleaming white charger off into the sky
We’ll be together
Just like Romeo, had his Juliet




I’ve got you by my side and just don’t forget
It lasts forever
