Bedtime Story
Dear sweet child,
it's time for bed
I'll tell you a story,
kiss your sweet head
Lay down with your blanket,
your night light is lit
And you'll fall asleep,
as you listen to it
Far off in a land,
where nobody goes
Peaches and Apples,
and the strawberry grows
Streams are all full,
of most colorful fish
Lakes full of ice cream,
eat all you wish
You'll wake in the morning,
to a wondrous sunrise
Hear the sweet songbird,
in the air as it flies
Run all day long,
with a kite on a string
See a pond full of Swans,
what a beautiful thing
Up in the trees,
a Squirrel and a Dove
So close together,
I think they're in Love
A Cat and a Mouse,
at run in a field
The Mouse chases the Cat,
Now, that can't be real
The Moon now is rising,
now it's time for sleep
Close your sweet eyes child,
In, your dreams will soon creep
Until tomorrow,
when it's bedtime again
Another story, I'll tell you
I know how it ends
