Lynn Anderson - Bedtime Story LYRICS

I've told you almost every bedtime story

And you've heard almost every nursery rhyme

So tonight before you'll 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 both were blessed by one little blue eyed princess

With the softest golden curles you've ever seen

And 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 away

Still it's just another bedtime story but telling 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 missed his little princess and his queen

Then he was back and safe inside his castle

And tears of joy came falling down like rain

Then the castle rang with laughter they lived happy ever after

Knowing he would never leave again

Still it's just another bedtime story...

Won't you please forgive your mommy if she cries
