"Once upon a time": words we love so well.
Storytellers tell in words with wings,
Of maids and kings, and wondrous things.

Like a nursery rhyme, like a magic spell,
Every dream we weave is make-believe
That tugs the sleeve of time.

Tales we're told, bold and true,
Though we all grow old, stories never do.
I know why stories never die:
They just wait for children passing by.

Time to go to sleep,
Count your pretty sheep.
Dream a dream to keep tomorrow new.
Happy endings, too;
Hope your dreams come true.
Once upon a bedtime story, they do.
