Good Night Lyrics - The Roches

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!
