Help me Sleep Tonight Lyrics

Oh I would like to tell you a story if you would like to hear one!
It is just one moment of your time.
A bird was shot and he fell to the ground, but he did not cry at all.
He had no children of his own
And he did not mind getting cooked for dinner alone.

Help me sleep tonight.
I can't help but wish upon a star, eagerly.
Will someone come and sing to me?

They plucked his feathers and used his beak as a ladle.
He could not help but think back to one special moment in time.

Help me sleep tonight.
I can't help but wish upon a star, eagerly.
Will someone come and sing to me?
Help me sleep tonight.
