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 write your bedtime song sing it to you all night long
