Melanie Safka - Actress lyrics

rate me

You see she is the actress who plays the part of snow

And when they ask her to play Jesus ah she turned down the role

And when they ask her to play sunlight she'll give it a try

And when they ask her to play music she'll sing till she dies

Well she wouldn't die of pleasure, she wouldn't die from pain

She wouldn't die of starshine and she'll forgive the rain

And some say she whiles away her life in the lights that change her

She will not live for friends she'll die of strangers

She will not live for friends she's gonna die of strangers

And all her young men told her they liked the songs they heard

They loved the melodies but they didn't understand the words

And some say she whiles 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 you rest

Won't you lay your head on you dear Savior's breast

Will 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, good night, good night

They're gonna eat up all the children when they wouldn't be good

Good night, good night, good night

You see she was the actress who played the part of snow

And when they ask her to play Jesus ah she turned down the role

And when they ask her to play sunlight she gave it a try

And when they ask her to play music her own sweet music

Well they asked her to play music and she sang till she died

Well I love you but Jesus loves you the best

And I bid you good night, good night, good night
