0:00:06 > 0:00:08Hello, I'm Suranne.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11I'm so pleased you've joined me for tonight's bedtime story,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15because I'm about to go on a magical adventure with my lion friend.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17RAAAARGH!
0:00:17 > 0:00:19His name is Albert.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Would you like to join us?
0:00:22 > 0:00:27Brilliant. Tuck yourself up and get ready to float away.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30Tonight's story is called Before I Wake Up,
0:00:30 > 0:00:34and it's written and illustrated by Britta Teckentrup.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36OWL HOOTS
0:00:36 > 0:00:40Before I wake up, I float through my dreams
0:00:40 > 0:00:44Imagining worlds never ending, it seems
0:00:44 > 0:00:48Before I wake up, I fly into the night
0:00:48 > 0:00:51I gaze at the stars and the moon shining bright
0:00:52 > 0:00:56In the blue meadow, I'm joined by my friend
0:00:56 > 0:01:00We travel together, in our world without end
0:01:00 > 0:01:05Together we fly, with arms stretched out wide
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Over the seas and leave our worries behind
0:01:10 > 0:01:14Before I wake up, we might face some storms
0:01:14 > 0:01:17But I won't be afraid, I'm safe in your arms
0:01:19 > 0:01:23We feel the wind, we hear the sea, we sing our song together
0:01:23 > 0:01:24We're strong
0:01:27 > 0:01:31Before I wake up, we sail through the seas
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Our boat rocking gently in the soft breeze
0:01:36 > 0:01:39I swim with the whales, I dive into the ocean
0:01:39 > 0:01:42I close my eyes, so full of emotion
0:01:50 > 0:01:54When I open my eyes, we're deep in a wood
0:01:54 > 0:01:57We follow the path, I feel so good
0:01:57 > 0:02:01We meet wild creatures, surrounded by trees
0:02:01 > 0:02:06They say "Happy to meet you, will you stay with us, please?"
0:02:06 > 0:02:09We play through the night, and I have to confess
0:02:09 > 0:02:13That I wish I could stay in this wilderness
0:02:13 > 0:02:18You make me feel safe, you are always near
0:02:18 > 0:02:21That's why I'm brave, without any fear
0:02:21 > 0:02:25But the time has come, as night fades away
0:02:25 > 0:02:28To leave our new friends, and welcome the day
0:02:30 > 0:02:33We run, faster and faster out of the night
0:02:33 > 0:02:37Through the red jungle, towards morning's light
0:02:38 > 0:02:42And when the day dawns, I stand close to my friend
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Goodbye for now, night has come to an end
0:02:48 > 0:02:51When I wake up, the sun kisses my skin
0:02:53 > 0:02:54It's a wonderful world
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Let the new day begin.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01What a magical adventure.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05Those woodland creatures were a friendly bunch, weren't they?
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Now, it's time for you to have your own adventure.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11So cuddle your favourite friend, shut your eyes
0:03:11 > 0:03:13and shoot off to the stars.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15I'll see you very soon.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Sweet dreams.
