The Actress Songtext

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
