Lyrics?

tell me a bedtime story daddy
tell me a bedtime story now

once upon a time, a little girl i knew
wanted nursery rhymes
read in bed unto
just like you

tired from having fun
playing in the rain
and they pushed the sun aside and took her afternoon away
then she turned to say

tell me a bedtime story daddy
tell me a bedtime story now

so she saw her dreams
underneath her eyes
animals and kings, ice cream, the park
and clowns with tambourines chasing butterflies

tell me a bedtime story daddy
tell me a bedtime story now

little angel dont you worry
i've a special bedtime story
life is love and love is glory
we had you so it must be true

-solo-

???
breathe so sweet and mild
daddy tucked her in and touched her skin
and thought this is my child
inside his smile

???
gently close the door
tell himself oh lord i know what all of this is for
and there'll be more

tell me a bedtime story daddy
tell me a bedtime story now
(repeat)
