[Verse 1]
Time to sleep
But I'm not sleepy yet
Close my eyes
But dreamland's not a sure bet
[Chorus]
Don't go
Stay with me
Tell me a bedtime story
[Verse 2]
Long ago there was a princess
She was so fine
She was all alone
For her prince
He never had no time
You can hear her crying
[Chorus]
Stay with me
Tell me a bedtime story
[Interlude]
Don't go
Stay with me
Please, talk to me
[Verse 3]
Far away
I want to go
And start my life all over
Instead, I'll stay
Maybe I'll find a four leaf clover
[Chorus]
Stay with me
Tell me a bedtime story, yeah
Stay with me
Tell me a bedtime story
Goodnight
Time to sleep
But I'm not sleepy yet
Close my eyes
But dreamland's not a sure bet
[Chorus]
Don't go
Stay with me
Tell me a bedtime story
[Verse 2]
Long ago there was a princess
She was so fine
She was all alone
For her prince
He never had no time
You can hear her crying
[Chorus]
Stay with me
Tell me a bedtime story
[Interlude]
Don't go
Stay with me
Please, talk to me
[Verse 3]
Far away
I want to go
And start my life all over
Instead, I'll stay
Maybe I'll find a four leaf clover
[Chorus]
Stay with me
Tell me a bedtime story, yeah
Stay with me
Tell me a bedtime story
