A Bed-Time Story 1932 vs2 JPitt-Payne

When the shadows creep,
I feel like I want to cry,
I can't go to sleep
till I hear that lullaby,
there is something that I miss,
It is not a "Goodnight" kiss,
loving tender words
just making me sigh.

It was a bedtime story,
a bedtime story,
that mother used to tell me on her knee,
To be in bed at seven
was just like Heaven,
to hear that bedtime story told to me;
And as the stars began to peep
I used to count the little sheep,
and then she'd rock me off to sleep
so tenderly.
It was a true love story,
that bedtime story,
that mother used to tell to me.

It was a bedtime story,
a bedtime story,
that mother used to tell me on her knee,
To be in bed at seven
was just like Heaven,
to hear that bedtime story told to me;
And as the stars began to peep
I used to count the little sheep,
and then she'd rock me off to sleep
so tenderly.
It was a true love story,
that bedtime story,
that mother used to tell to me.

I would give the world
for my happy childhood days,
Back in mother's arms,
that is where my mem'ry strays,
never had a single care,
happiness was ev'rywhere,
now those tender words
are with me always.

It was a bedtime story,
a bedtime story,
that mother used to tell me on her knee,
To be in bed at seven
was just like Heaven,
to hear that bedtime story told to me;
And as the stars began to peep
I used to count the little sheep,
and then she'd rock me off to sleep
so tenderly.
It was a true love story,
that bedtime story,
that mother used to tell to me.

It was a bedtime story,

and then she'd rock me off to sleep
so tenderly.
It was a true love story,
that bedtime story,
that mother used to tell to me.
