The Roches - Goodnight 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
