Bedtime Story

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 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
 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
