Barbara Ray - Bedtime Story Lyrics

I've told you almost every bedtime story
And you've had almost every nursery rhyme
So tonight before you go to sleep
And pray the Lord
Your soul to keep
Here's mommy's favourite 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

Saying it's just another bedtime story
But telling it brings teardrops to my eyes
Just another pretty bedtime story
So please
Forgive your mommy
If she cries?

Then it came to pass
The King grew lonely
And the pretty lady wasn't
All she seemed
He realised that he was wrong
And started his long journey home
For his missed his little princess
And his Queen

And he was back
And safe inside his castle
And tears of joy came pouring down like rain
Then the castle rang with laughter
And they lived
Happy ever after
Knowing he would
Never leave again

Saying 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?

Won't you please forgive your mommy
If she cries?
