But telling it brings teardrops to my eyes
Still it's just another bedtime story
Knowing he would never leave again
And this part makes your Mommy sad
He realized that he was wrong
With the softest golden curls you've ever seen
Once upon a time there was a castle
They lived happy ever after
But then one day he met this pretty lady
But telling it brings teardrops to my eyes
So please forgive Mommy if she cries
And tears of joy came pouring down like rain
So tonight before you'll go to sleep
Then the castle rang with laughter
And the pretty lady wasn't all she seemed
By one little blue eyed princess
And she had lots of pretty words to say
And pray the Lord your soul to keep
Then he was back and safe inside his castle
And started his long journey home
And it came to pass they both were blessed
And in this castle lived a king and queen
So please forgive Mommy if she cries
Here's Mommy's favorite story one more time
For he missed his little princess and his queen
'Cause, oh, what big eyes she had
Just another pretty bedtime story
Then it came to pass the king grew lonely
Still it's just another bedtime story
Just another pretty bedtime story
And she took his hand and led him far away
