In a Crowd of Thousands

DMITRY:It was June

I was ten

I still think of that day now and then

A parade and a girl

And a crowd of thousands

She sat straight

As a queen

Only eight but so proud and serene

How they cheered

How I stared

In that crowd of thousands

And I started to run

And to call out her name

As the crowd on the road went wild

I reached out with my hand

And looked up

And then she smiled

The parade travelled on

With the sun in my eyes she was gone

But if I were still ten

In that crowd of thousands

I'd find her again

ANYA:You're making me feel I was there too

DMITRY:Maybe you were

Make it part of your story

ANYA:A parade

DMITRY:A parade

ANYA:Passing by

DMITRY:Passing by

ANYA:It was hot not a cloud in the sky

Then a boy

Caught my eye

BOTH:In the crowd of thousands

ANYA:He was thin

Not too clean

There were guards but he dodged in between

Yes he made himself seen

In that crowd of thousands

And he called out my name

And he started to run

Through the sun and the heat and crowd

And I tried not to smile

But I smiled

And then he bowed!

DMITRY:I didn't tell you that

ANYA:You didn't have to!

I remember!

BOTH:The parade travelled on

With a sun in my eyes you were gone

But I knew even then

In a crowd of thousands

I'd find you again!

DMITRY:Your Highness?!
