It takes us way back to the high school hall, where the journey began.<\/p>\n<p>I remember being completely captivated by a certain beautiful girl. Not only was she pretty, young, and smart, she was academically brilliant\u2014a girl who seemed entirely out of my league, yet the only one I ever truly wanted.<\/p>\n<p>How could I possibly tell her how much I liked her? She possessed the cutest smile that you ever see and was truly the happiest girl whenever you see her. This joy radiated from her and drew everyone in.<\/p>\n<p>The climax of this teenage crush was the school disco. I felt a tremendous rush of pride to have the courage to ask her for a dance, slow dance. That simple act was the beginning of everything.<\/p>\n<p>The song, &#8220;Be My Princess,&#8221; is the recreation of the feeling and the moment we had that slow dance. The lyrics are anchored in that reality:<\/p>\n<p>The opening line, &#8220;Sunrise paints the window pane \/ A new day dawning just the same \/ But you shine brighter than the sun,&#8221; speaks to how her presence transformed the ordinary world for me.<\/p>\n<p>The lines &#8220;Simple dress no fancy crown \/ Just the cutest smile in this whole town,&#8221; perfectly describe her down-to-earth nature and that unforgettable smile, proving she was beautiful without any pretense.<\/p>\n<p>And the plea, &#8220;Be my princess, oh my dear \/ Cast away every single fear,&#8221; is what I was silently wishing that entire night.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Be My Princess&#8221; is truly another crazy love song story. Every time I look back at that memory, especially when the song plays, it gives so much joy and paints a big smile in my face. It is a wish that that perfect, slow-dance moment would last eternally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6480,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_cat":[60],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-6487","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","product_cat-cd"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.laopress.com\/press\/wpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/6487","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.laopress.com\/press\/wpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.laopress.com\/press\/wpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.laopress.com\/press\/wpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6487"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.laopress.com\/press\/wpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/6487\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6500,"href":"https:\/\/www.laopress.com\/press\/wpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/6487\/revisions\/6500"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.laopress.com\/press\/wpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6480"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.laopress.com\/press\/wpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6487"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.laopress.com\/press\/wpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=6487"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.laopress.com\/press\/wpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=6487"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
