Ariel, sing me to sleep
Quoting quotes and counting sheep,
And teaching me to believe
She said:
"A fairytale is only fake if
The moral fails to prevent mistakes,
So rest your head, dear boy..."
But I was already dreaming of
Ariel, Ariel
Sings me to sleep with
Her meaningful melody.
Ariel, Ariel...
A lesson in every lullaby she sings.
Jack and Jill took fancy pills,
Jack took too much and got ill
He should've climbed a hill instead.
She said:
"You've got it wrong, don't take it light
There's reality in every lullaby.
So curl up with fantasy, and rock-a-bye baby."
Ariel, Ariel
Sings me to sleep with
Her meaningful melody.
Ariel, Ariel...
A lesson in every lullaby she sings to me
Always on-key and never without deeper meaning
She said "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" tells us
To reach for the impossible, and to bring near the far.
