One Last Bedtime Story Lyrics

His steps are unsure. He walks to the closet, a bear in his hands and a prayer on his lips. The darkness deceiving, his clothes are all goblins, the chair is a castle the bats hover 'round. 'Please Mom will you save me, your heart's sleeping sound. Dear Dad, you are stronger than anything.' Ran to the bathroom, tripped on his shoes. 'Where is my brother? They found him first.' He'll lock the door 'til the ghosts are all far away. He's safe if he's pure, the minister promised. These devils can't touch him if he starts to pray. He's clasping his hands, he's making a promise, but just as he speaks, sleepy eyes...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
