Wynette, Tammy - Bedtime Story Lyrics






I've told you almost ev'ry bedtime story
And you've heard almost ev'ry nursery rhyme
So, tonight before you go to sleep
And pray the Lord your soul to keep
Here's mommy's favorite story one more time.

Once upon a time there was a castle
And in this castle lived a King and Queen
And it came to pass, they were both were blessed
By one little blue-eyed princess
With the softest golden curls you've ever seen.

But then one day, he met this pretty lady
And she had lots of pretty words to say
And this part makes your mommy sad
'Cause,oh, what big eyes she had
And she took his hand and led him far away

Still, it's just another bedtime story
But tellin' it brings teardrops to my eyes
Just another pretty bedtime story
So, please forgive mommy if she cries.

Then it came to pass, the King grew lonely
And the pretty lady wasn't all she seemed
He realized that he was wrong
And started his long journey home
For he misses little Princess and his Queen.

Then he was back and safe inside his castle
And tears of joy came pourin' down like rain
Then the castle rang with laughter
They lived happy ever after
Knowin' he would never leave again.

Still, it's just another bedtime story
But tellin' it brings teardrops to my eyes
Just another pretty bedtime story
So, please forgive mommy if she cries.

Won't you please forgive your mommy
If she cries.

    Tammy is pictured here with one of her little princesses. She had 4 daughters.

  4. D.... H....

    I love this song.  I guess every parent would think when they hear hit.  It is a fantastic and so very well done.

  5. h.... a....

    I suffer awful migraines, and Tammy Wynette quietly playing with lights off and curtains closed has always been the only sound I could stand! x

  6. R.... J....

    Thank you

  7. R.... S....

    Wunderbare Songs Tammy. Wir vermissen Dich hier, aber nun macht’s Du gute Country Songs im Himmel 😥😥

  8. d.... b....

    Country lost something after this era. I mean REALLY lost something

  9. B.... L....

    I've told you almost every bedtime story
    And you've heard almost every nursery rhyme
    So, tonight before you go to sleep
    And pray the Lord your soul to keep
    Here's Mommy's favorite story one more time.

  10. R.... S....

    Schöner alter guter Country Song

  11. w.... h....

    This is the |Trump story but an Trump bedtime story. Thing was he just wanted his daughter.

  12. R.... C....

    How so many kings can be so easily led astray, by devious queens. How so many kings can walk away from precious little princes and princesses. How many bedtime stories have no happy ending 😢

    R.... C....

    I don't believe this one has a happy ending. It can be interpreted either way, but I think the mother is telling her child the story she wishes were true. "Just another bedtime story..." If she'd gotten the happy ending, she wouldn't still cry over the story. :(

    R.... C....

    Great song either way.

  13. K.... K....

    Tammy Wynette, ich Liebe diese Lied, was für ein wunderschöner Song :-) Ich kann mir den immer wieder aufs neue anhören..
    Was für eine göttliche Stimme

  14. R.... S....

    K.... S....

    I miss country western music too. I don't listen to the radio anymore

  18. A.... D....

    my mum used to sing this too me as a child.... i now sing this to my little one 😍😍

  19. J.... M....

    Tammy Wynette:  Truly the queen of Country music.  I sure miss her.

    J.... M....

    I agree, she should have the title, but that title was given to Kitty Wells, Loretta Lynn and lately Reba McIntire. However, Tammy IS STILL THE FIRST LADY OF COUNTRY MUSIC!

  20. S.... O....

    This here, is real country. I have never heard a country song nowadays that will bring a tear to my eye like this song does.

  21. J.... M....

    My favourite childhood song. Love this.

  22. J.... B....

    I have the double album with this song on it. Beautiful is all I can say.

  23. B.... G....

    One of my favorits.

  24. C.... B....

    lottie kids love is sing

  25. M.... ....

    Her voice is wonderful, I wish I could sing like that!

  26. N.... ....

    My mother use to sing this song to me when I was little. I didn't understand till later that the story rang true of us. But our king stayed with the lady who took him away. I eventually forgave my father, (who has passed on) and was fortunate enough to get a great step-dad (who also passed on years ago). So sometimes a door of sadness closes and another door opens that is filled with love & laughter that drowns out the sadness. The song always brings bitter-sweet memories and tears, but I still love to listen to it and remember being in my mother's arms while she sang it. Lord how I miss her too!

    N.... ....

    +NightMaiden I used to listen to this on my Mom's record player. It was true for us too. My mom and dad used to break up and get back together all the time. He would usually get with someone else in the time being. I was 10 the last time it happened. He and my mom divorced and he married the other woman. 6 months later, He was already in the process of getting divorced from her and trying to contact my mom but she didn't give him the chance. I know she would have forgiven him again but he was in a car accident and passed away. So growing up I would listen to this and cry and think about the what could have happened if he hadn't passed away.

  27. K.... S....

    I remember this from my childhood. Not everyone's cup of tea but it's a cute memory.

  28. w.... ....

    Seriously her voice makes me cry, damn near every time.

  29. c.... t....

    you all are just to old to under stand todays country

    c.... t....

    crystal toon fuck you y'all just don't know how to listen to music and I'm 16

  30. c.... t....

    how can you say that there are really good songs like my husbands and our son let them be little i watchen you but yes i like some old songs so dont dis

  31. M.... ....

    I know what you mean, It's not country anymore it's been completely destroyed it probaly won't ever go back to the way it was but TNN is coming back so they'll probaly run the old shows so I'm hoping they'll focus on the legends of yesterday

  32. J.... B....

    I cant stand new country and im only 31, I grew up on this music, these singers these days, arent anything but the same ole crap.

  33. l.... ....

    Thank's Snowball for your truthful comment I hope to see be for I kick out Real country will run the hijacker's back to there pop Station's

  34. l.... ....

    Jamie this lady was a great voice in our life time This younger Talent need to take lesson's in singing from Tammy And Dottie & Sammy Loretta Then we might call them real country music star's

    l.... ....

    latokatn506 I couldn't agree more, these so called country singer's of today don't have a clue, they should NEVER BE COMPARED TO THE GREAT LADIES OF COUNTRY MUSIC 💖🌷
