The Serpent Princess

Junior year

So in songwriting class the professor revealed the juniors parent's songs they wrote and played their video when they sang in class then each of the artists came in to meet the inspiration behind the song. FP did It a Hell of Amen that Brantley Gilbert recorded. Fred did wrote Tough Little Boys who Gary Allan sang Archie was blown away and with the photos of she and Archie and at the end was Jess for this verse.

Well I'm a grown man
And as strong as I am
Sometimes its hard to believe
That one little girl, with little blonde curls
Could totally terrify me
If you were to ask
My wife would just laugh
She'd say "I know all about men
How when tough little boys grow up to be dads
They turn into big babies again"
Well I know one day, I'll give you away
And I'm gonna stand there and smile
And when I get home, and I'm all alone
Well, I'll sit in your room for a while

Jess choked up speechless as Archie hugged her.

They hugged Fred in that moment and met Gary.

After everyone went it was Matt and Emily's turn and the professor asked.

"Who's the student is related to Matt and Emily Martin?"

Jessica quietly raise her hand.

"Oh Jess but your last name is..."

Then she looked at her attendance book Martin Andrews.

"Oh sorry Jessica are they here?"

The professor hasn't known.

"They passed away, Professor but don't worry the Andrews took care of me from day one so I took their last name! Originally my parents has chose Fred and Mary as my Godparents and Archie has my parents as his godparents."

The professor understood and compose herself trying not to cry and knowing both songs were written were inspired by their daughter.

"Ok."

So they showed Matt video first and Fred wrote the second verse and sang it in the video. Jess was stunned as she recognized the piano tune and violin. Archie and Jughead were videoing his sister's expression.

Gotta hold on easy as I let you go
Going to tell you how much I love you
Though you think you already know
I remember I thought you looked like an angel
Wrapped in pink, so soft and warm
You've had me wrapped around your finger
Since the day you were born
You're beautiful baby, from the outside in
Chase your dreams but always know
The road that will lead you home again
Go on, take on this old world but to me
You know you'll always be my little girl."

Then Fred sing the next verse as Jess just watch in amazement.

When you were in trouble that crooked little smile
Could melt my heart of stone
Now look at you
I turned around and you've almost grown
Sometimes when you're asleep
I whisper I love you in the moonlight at your door
As I walk away, I hear you say
Daddy love you more
You're beautiful baby, from the outside in
Chase your dreams but always know
The road that will lead you home again
Go on, take on this old world but to me
You know you'll always be my little girl

Then Matt sang the bridge.

Someday some boy will come and ask me for your hand
But I won't say yes to him
Unless I know he's the half that makes you whole
He has a poet's soul and the heart of a man's man
I know he'll say that he's in love
But between you and me, he won't be good enough
You're beautiful baby, from the outside in
Chase your dreams but always know
The road that will lead you home again
Go on, take on this old world but to me
You know you'll always be my little girl
