A Little Sacrifice lyrics
by Joseph Trapanese
[Verse 1]
The Prince did sit aside the sea, blushing with his Siren
At lengths did they try to agree who'd forfeit their environ
A trade for surf?
A swap for turf?
Who'd cave first and when?
[Chorus]
For if yer goal be paradise, a life with your true love
Ponder all yer wants in life, and make A little sacrifice....
[Verse 2]
The water's wet, the beachside's dry, and where they met is where they lie
But where they lay, they cannot stay, the tide is low, now they both know
A trade for surf?
A swap for turf?
Who'd turn and let go?
[Chorus]
For if yer goal be paradise, a life with your true love
Ponder all yer wants in life, and make A little sacrifice....
[Verse 3]
His choice was made aside the sea, a twilit red horizon
For she had fin'lly made him see, his place among the sirens
A trade for surf!
He knew what it's worth to trade foot for fin!
[Chorus]
For if yer goal be paradise, just give your love a firm nudge
If he sinks to darkest night, embrace his little sacrifice!
