Make It Blue Like Periwinkle Dreams

A Poem

oh, oh, oh
she’ll be beautiful
oh, oh, oh
she’ll be beautiful

we think it’s all gowns
and make-up
and glass slippers
to make a girl
into a princess

oh, oh, oh
there’s more to it than that
oh, oh, oh
there’s more to it than that

we think it’s about that prince
and his smile
and his crown
but do we know
if his heart is true?

oh, oh, oh
did Cinderella have it this hard?
oh, oh, oh
did Cinderella have it this hard?

we think it’s about the kiss
that may be true love
or not —
who knows for sure? —
but there’s more to it than that

oh, oh, oh
make it blue, make it blue
oh, oh, oh
make it blue, make it blue
