Bedtime Story Lyrics - Kitty Wells

I've told you almost every bedtime story 

And you've heard almost every nursery rhyme 

So tonight before you'll 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 curles 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 telling 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 pouring 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 telling it brings teardrops to my eyes 

Just another pretty bedtime story 

So please forgive mommy if she cries
