The Roches - Good Night lyrics

Once upon a time there was a very friendly princess

Who was captured

By a big, grumpy, invisible wizard. he locked her in

The tippy top of his

Tower and late at night when she was very tired,

Getting ready to fall

Asleep on her bed of stones, she would look out the

Window, up into

The sky, and twiddle her thumbs and sing a song that

She just made

Up. she didn't know why. it was just about a feeling

That she had. and it

Sounded something like this...

I love you from far away

Like i love the moon

You are the brightest star

In my cartoon

Someday i'll find you

Whoever you are

I know you are out there

But where?

You couldn't be far

Now this princess got very very smart after years of

Thinking in the tower

And it began to dawn on her that perhaps the

Invisible wizard wasn't

Even there! so, she approached the gigantic door

That kept her locked

Into the tower and she OPENED it! then tiptoed

Carefully down the

Stairs to the bottom where lo and behold she walked

Into a clearing in

The woods and she was free! and you'll never

Believe it but there was

An entire village of forest animals and people

Dancing and singing. they had been

Waiting for her all these years! they sang together...

I love you from far away

Like i love the moon

You are the brightest star

In my cartoon

Someday i'll find you

Whoever you are

I know you are out there

But where?

You couldn't be far

Well, that's the end of the story

I'm getting kind of tired

I think i'll go to sleep now, goodnight!
