Every night just before you sleep
Will you pray the Lord my soul to keep?
Safe and sound until I'm home, again

Tell the kids that I won't be long
Will you ask the Lord to keep them strong?
Safe and sound until I'm home, again

So say a prayer for me
And, I'll pray for you
Darling, every day we live
That I am far away

Tell little Joe, that [?]
And, I'm on my way
With a kiss for Sue
I'm coming home to you

Though your sad and, so far away
Darling, in my heart you'll always stay
Safe and sound until I'm home, again

Baby, though you are out of sight
You are in my heart, day and night
Safe and sound until I'm home, again

So say a prayer for me
And, I'll pray for you
Darling, every day
That I am far away

So say a prayer for me
And, I'll pray for you
Darling, every day
That I am far away
