Don't Cry Little Princess

by Valerie Vancollie

Don't cry little princess, don't cry little princess

Our love will guide you wherever you go,

you won't be alone

You don't know how we met, little Skywalker

and I wonder if you really care

For we're always there when you need us

You are part of this life that we share

At the time when you were still a child

You'd wake up every night and you'd cry

For your lost mother and twin brother

So we'd get up just to comfort you, princess

we would sing you your mother's lullaby

Don't cry little princess, don't cry little princess

Our love will guide you wherever you go,

you won't be alone

You are growing incredibly fast, little Skywalker

Becoming more and more like your mother

Soon you'll just spread your wings and you'll fly, Leia

And I know you'll become a strong leader

You will light the path to freedom

While you're out fighting the Empire

you will realize there's nothing so strong

as the love you share with your family, dear

it's the same love you get from us

Don't cry little princess, don't cry little princess

Our love will guide you wherever you go,

you won't be alone

Now we won't be here for always

but we'll stay for as long as humanly possible

We are hoping to see you win freedom and justice

if the Force permits

You know somehow we'll always be with you

For its our love that helped you grow

and the ideals that you fight for are ours

and the memory of true justice remains

So, don't cry little princess, don't cry little princess

Our love will guide you wherever you go,

you won't be alone

Don't cry little princess, don't cry little princess

Our love will guide you wherever you go,

you won't be alone
