Bedtime Story Lyrics

Bedtime Story lyrics

(Billy Sherrill/Glen Sutton)



I've told you almost ev'ry bedtime
story

And you've heard almost ev'ry nursery rhyme

So, tonight before
you go to sleep

And pray the Lord your soul to keep

Here's mommy's
favorite story one more time.



Once upon a time there was a
castle

And in this castle lived a King and Queen

And it came to pass,
they were both were blessed

By one little blue-eyed princess

With the
softest golden curls you've ever seen.



But then one day, he met this
pretty lady

And she had lots of pretty words to say

And this part makes
your mommy sad

'Cause, oh, what big eyes she had

And she took his hand
and led him far a way. 



Still, it's just another bedtime story

But
tellin' it brings teardrops to my eyes

Just another pretty bedtime
story

So, please forgive mommy if she cries.



Then it came to pass,
the King grew lonely

And the pretty lady wasn't all she seemed

He
realized that he was wrong

And  started his long journey home

For he
misses little Princess and his Queen.



Then he was back and safe inside
his castle

And tears of joy came pourin' down like rain

Then the castle
rang with laughter

They lived happy ever after

Knowin' he would never
leave again



Still, it's just another bedtime story

But tellin' it
brings teardrops to my eyes

Just another pretty bedtime story

So,
please forgive mommy if she cries.   



Won't you please ...forgive your
mommy

If she cries.
