Sing me goodnight, sing me goodnight
The day has burned down so bring up your light
Carry the water to where it is dry
We've lived through another day so bring out your light
Tell me a story, tell me a story
Make it about a girl who acts a lot like me
But make her be stronger, make her know better
Make her be braver than I've ever been
Sing me goodnight, sing me goodnight
The day has burned down so bring up your light
Carry the water to where it is dry
We've lived through another day so bring out your light
Paint me a picture, paint me a picture
Use every color that comes in the package
Just show me something I haven't imagined
Take me out dancing on the side of a mountain
Tell me a story, tell me a story
Make it about a girl who acts a lot like me
But make her be stronger, make her be braver
Make her know better than I've ever been
Tell me a secret, tell me a secret
Make it a good one
Yeah, that's a good one
Tell me a story, tell me a story
Make it about a girl who acts a lot like me
But make her be stronger
Make her know better
Make her be braver than I've ever been
Sing me goodnight, sing me goodnight
The day has burned down so bring up your light
Carry the water to where it is dry
Tell me a story
Sing me goodnight
