Extravagant Evening
She was raised in the slum
Struggled and poverty
That's all she knew
And she met you
You opened her eyes
Into a dream world
Where she can pretend
Wearing sparkling shoes
Made out of cyrstal glass
She put them on
The beautiful evening gown
Tiny pearls all over her dress
In her hand
A black clutch
Designed to fit
To hide it all
The pain of rejections
From childhood memories
Only for tonight
An extravagant evening
She'll always remember
You were her prince
She was your princes
Dancing with happiness
The Beatles were playing
All you need is love
Love is all you need
She looked into your eyes
All she saw was love
Acceptance in your arms
But it had to end
The celebration was over
It was time to go home
She had a curfew
A home to return to
But in her mind
That extravagant evening
You'll always be her prince
And she'll always be your princes
