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 bu*terflies 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
