Now I lay me down to sleep and if I sleep perhaps I’ll dream And if I dream, I’ll be with you in the shelter of your arms I pray that God will lengthen night and grant me time before the light For the light of day will take me from the shelter of your arms And though I know it’s just a dream, a dream that soon must end The arms I feel, I know are real and I’m happy once again And if I die while I am asleep, I pray my dreams He’ll let me keep And carry me through eternity in the shelter of your arms And though I know it’s just a dream, a dream that soon must end The arms I feel, I know are real and I’m happy once again And if I die while I am asleep, I pray my dreams He’ll let me keep And carry me through eternity in the shelter of your arms
