Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Tell me a bedtime story now

Tell me a bedtime story now

[Verse 2]

Once upon a time

A little girl I knew

Wanted nursery rhymes

Read at bedtime too

Just like you

[Verse 3]

Tired from having fun

Playing games all day

Evening pushed the sun aside and took her afternoon away

Then she turned to say

[Verse 4]

Life is love and so it must be true

[Verse 5]

So she saw her dreams

Underneath her eyes

Animals and kings, ice cream, the park and clowns with tambourines

Chasing butterflies

[Verse 6]

So she saw her dreams

Underneath her eyes

Animals and kings, ice cream, the park and clowns with tambourines

Chasing butterflies

[Verse 7]

Tell me a story

Tell me a story
