Bedtime Story.mid

I've told you almost every bedtime story,
and you've heard almost every nursery rhyme;

so tonight before you go to sleep
and pray the Lord your soul to keep,

here's Mommy's fav'rite 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 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 away.

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 missed his 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,

knowing 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.
