Kimiko Kasai, Herbie Hancock - Tell Me a Bedtime Story lyrics

Tell me a bedtime story, Daddy
Tell me a bedtime story now

Once upon a time a little kid I knew
Wanted nursery rhymes read in bedtime too
Just like you

Tired from having fun playing in the rain
And they pushed the sun aside
And took her afternoon away
Then she turned to say

Tell me a bedtime story, Daddy
Tell me a bedtime story now

So she saw her dreams underneath her eyes
Animals and kings, ice cream, the park
And clowns with tambourines
Chasing butterflies

Tell me a bedtime story, Daddy
Tell me a bedtime story now

Little angel, don’t you worry
I've a special bedtime story
Life is love and love is glory
We had you, so it must be true

The dimple near her chin
Breath so sweet and mild
Daddy tucked her in and touched her skin
And thought this is my child
Inside he smiled

Tipped across her bed gently closed the door
To himself he said, "Oh, Lord
I know what all of this is for"
And there'll be more

Tell me a bedtime story, Daddy
Tell me a bedtime story now
Tell me a bedtime story, Daddy
Tell me a bedtime story now
Tell me a bedtime story, Daddy
