You see,
she is the actress
Who plays the part of
Snow
An d when they asked her to play
Jesus
She turned down the role
And when they asked her to play
Starshine
She gave it a try
An d when they asked her to play music,
she sang till she died
She wouldn't die of pleasure,
or she wouldn't die of pain
She wouldn't die of starshine,
and she'll forgive the rain
And some say she wiled away her
life in the lights that change her
She will not live for a friend,
she'll die a stranger's
She wouldn't live for friends,
she'll die of strangers
La la la la, la la la la, la la la la,
la la la la
And all her young men told her,
they liked the songs they heard.
They loved the melody,
but they didn't understand the words.
And some say she wild away her life
in the lights that change her
She will not live for friends,
she's gonna die of strangers
She wouldn't live for friends,
she'll die of strangers
Won't you lay down, children,
won't you lay and take your rest?
Won't you lay your head
on your dear
Saviour's breast?
I love you but
Jesus loves you best
And I bid you goodnight,
goodnight, goodnight
And I bid you goodnight,
oh goodnight, goodnight
Na, na, na, goodnight,
ah, goodnight
They're gonna eat up all the children
when they wouldn't be
Good, goodnight, ah, goodnight,
goodnight
You see, she was the actress
who played the part of
Snow
And when they asked her to play
Jesus, she turned down the role
And when they asked her to play sunlight,
she gave it a try
And when they asked her to play music,
her own sweet music
Now they asked her to play music
And she sang till she died
She sang till she died
Lord, she sang till she died
I love you
But
Jesus loves you best
And I bid you good night,
good night, good night
And I bid you good night,
good night, good night
And I bid you good night
An d and I bid you goodnight,
goodnight, oh, goodnight
And I bid you good, and I bid you,
and I bid you goodnight
Good night, good night, good night
