I once believed in fairies, br Pixies, elves, and such, br But as I grew, I thought I knew br That they were just too much. br I lived my humdrum life each day, br To work and then back home; br The years flew by, and with them I br Forgot of elves and gnomes; br Until I met a tender soul br Who believed in fairy lore, br And showed me things like fairy rings br Till I believed once more.
