Bedtime Song

I could write your bedtime song

Sing it to you all night long

When shadows grow like vines

And voices soft as chimes

Won't let you close your eyes

I could write your bedtime song

Mother Earth and Brother Moon

Spin in rhythm to this tune

And curtains made of clouds

Bend down to kiss your brow

While daylight takes a bow

So you can rest your head

I could tell you every story

Aesop's Fables Brothers Grimm

But my favorite story is

The story that we're living in

Starlight through the windowpane

Sends a blessing on your name

As placid as a pond

More graceful than a swan

Ascending into flight

I could tell you every story

Aesop's Fables Brothers Grimm

But my favorite story is

The story that we're living in

I could write your bedtime song

Sing it to you all night long
