Bedtime Stories

I remember the days when I was tucked into bed
Bedtime stories were what was read
Every one ended with true love’s kiss
All their problems became total bliss
I knew these fantasies would not come true
I could try but there would be nothing to do

Bedtime stories made me feel sweet
The boy of my dreams would sweep me right off my feet
He would take me away to a magical land
We would wonder off together, hand in hand
I always thought this was just a dream
And fairy tales were not what they seemed

Bedtime stories made me believe
That I would achieve
Finding the one perfect for me
And would make answers clearer to see
Bedtime stories could come true
Now everyone knows what to do

I remember the days when I was tucked into bed
Bedtime stories were always read
