Your Crowning Glory

Cheesy time. We all have our guilty pleasures, and the Princess Diaries movies are part of mine. Some things just make you feel good, and this song in particular, sung beautifully by Julie Andrews and Raven Symone, always gives me that warm, fuzzy feeling.

Today is a day for Princesses. This goes out to all big and little girls everywhere, or, everyone who still has that little girl inside.

Crowning Glory

Some girls are fair
Some are jolly and fit
Some have a well bred air
Or a well-honed wit

Each one's a jewel
With a singular shine
A work of art
With its own rare design

Dear little girl
You are terribly blessed
But it's your heart of gold
I love the best

And that will be your crowning glory
Your whole life through
It'll always be your crowning glory
The most glorious part of you

Some boys can waltz
Some guys can groove
Strike an elegant pose
With the really good clothes
Some seem to have no faults
But we never like those
No we don't
He'll praise your eyes
Your melodious laugh
Call you more lovely than others by half

The one who's right
My gorgeous prince
Will be honest and true
He'll believe in me too
And prize your heart of gold the way I do

He'll know that will be your crowning glory
Your whole life through
Your love will see that it's your crowning glory
The most glorious part of you
And you
And you
And you

That will be your crowning glory
Darling when they tell your story
They'll call your heart of gold your crown of glory
The most glorious part of you

I may still be out to lunch on kids, but if I have a daughter, remind me to take voice lessons and sing this to her. Every day.
