[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

Then 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, spoken]
You’re making me feel I was there too
[DMITRY, spoken]
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

[DMITRY & ANYA]
In a 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

Then he called out my name
And he started to run
Through the sun and heat and the crowd
And I tried not to smile but I smiled
And then
He bowed

[DMITRY, spoken]
I didn't tell you that

[ANYA, spoken]
You didn't have to
I remember!

[DMITRY & ANYA]
The parade travelled on
With the sun in my eyes you were gone
But I knew even then
In a crowd of thousands
I’d find you again

[DMITRY, spoken]
Your Highness
