Melanie - The Actress Lyrics
You see she is the actress who plays the part of snow
And when they ask her to play Jesus well she turned down the role
And when they ask her to play sunlight she gave it a try
And when they ask her to play music she'll sing till she dies
She wouldn't die of starshine and she'll forgive the rain
And some say she whiles away her life in the lights that change her
She will not live for friends she'll die of strangers
She will not live for friends she's gonna die of strangers
And all her young men told her they liked the songs they heard
They loved the melodies but they didn't understand the words
And some say she whiles away her life in the lights that change her
She will not live for friends she's gonna die of strangers
She wouldn't live for friends she'll die of strangers
Won't you lay down children, won't you lay and take you rest
Won't you lay your head on you dear Saviour's breast
Well I love you but Jesus loves you best
And I bid you good night, good night, good night
And I bid you good night, good night, good night, good night, good night
They're gonna eat up all the children when they wouldn't be good
Good night, good night, good night
You see she was the actress who played the part of snow
And when they ask her to play Jesus well she turned down the role
And when they ask her to play sunlight she gave it a try
And when they ask her to play music, her own sweet music
Now they asked her to play music and she sang till she died
Well I love you but Jesus loves you the best
And I bid you good night, good night, good night

Melanie The Actress Comments
I grew up with this. Its such a beautiful song.......
Lovely reference to the Ponder Family and The Incredible String Band
I had forgotten this one.
Great to hear it again.
May be my favorite Melanie song. From one of her best albums. Amazing vocals!
This has to be one off Melanie's best songs. She was a true Goddess
is not was.
I love how she whispers and then belts it out, and both styles with passion. Love her lyrics.
An amazing song.
I've always felt that was/is the finest song she ever wrote. There were many critics that felt that way, too, as I recall.
