I've told you almost every bedtime story
And you've heard almost every 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.
Let's reverse the gender roles...shall we?
I've told you almost every bedtime story
And you've heard almost every nursery rhyme
So, tonight before you go to sleep
And pray the Lord your soul to keep
Here's Daddy'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 were both blessed
By a little blue-eyed princess
With the softest golden curls you've ever seen.
But then one day she met this sugardaddy.
And he had lots of charming things to say.
And this part makes your daddy sad
'Cause oh what big broad guns he had
And he took her hand and led her far away.
But then one day the queen grew lonely
And the sugardaddy wasn't all he seemed.
She realized then that she was wrong
And she began her journey home
For she missed her little princess and her king.
Then she was back and safe inside the castle
And tears of joy came pouring down like rain.
The castle bells pealed with laughter.
They lived happily ever after
Knowing she 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 your daddy if he cries.
Jamie this lady was a great voice in our life time This younger Talent need to take lesson's in singing from Tammy And Dottie & Sammy Loretta Then we might call them real country music star's
My mother use to sing this song to me when I was little. I didn't understand till later that the story rang true of us. But our king stayed with the lady who took him away. I eventually forgave my father, (who has passed on) and was fortunate enough to get a great step-dad (who also passed on years ago). So sometimes a door of sadness closes and another door opens that is filled with love & laughter that drowns out the sadness. The song always brings bitter-sweet memories and tears, but I still love to listen to it and remember being in my mother's arms while she sang it. Lord how I miss her too!
I know what you mean, It's not country anymore it's been completely destroyed it probaly won't ever go back to the way it was but TNN is coming back so they'll probaly run the old shows so I'm hoping they'll focus on the legends of yesterday
How so many kings can be so easily led astray, by devious queens. How so many kings can walk away from precious little princes and princesses. How many bedtime stories have no happy ending
