The Actress Lyrics

You see she is the actress who plays the part of snowAnd when they ask her to play Jesus ah she turned down the roleAnd when they ask her to play sunlight she'll give it a tryAnd when they ask her to play music she'll sing till she diesWell she wouldn't die of pleasure, she wouldn't die from painShe wouldn't die of starshine and she'll forgive the rainAnd some say she whiles away her life in the lights that change herShe will not live for friends she'll die of strangersShe will not live for friends she's gonna die of strangersAnd all her young men told her they liked the songs they heardThey loved the melodies but they didn't understand the wordsAnd some say she whiles away her life in the lights that change herShe will not live for friends she's gonna die of strangersShe wouldn't live for friends she'll die of strangers*Won't you lay down children won't you lay and take you restWon't you lay your head on you dear Savior's breastWill I love you but Jesus loves you bestAnd I bid you good night, good night, good nightAnd I bid you good night, good night, good night, good night, good nightThey're gonna eat up all the children when they wouldn't be goodGood night, good night, good nightYou see she was the actress who played the part of snowAnd when they ask her to play Jesus ah she turned down the roleAnd when they ask her to play sunlight she gave it a tryAnd when they ask her to play music her own sweet musicWell they asked her to play music and she sang till she diedWell I love you but Jesus loves you the bestAnd I bid you good night, good night, good night
