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'm 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'm asleep
I pray my dreams He'll let me keep
And carry me through eternity
In the shelter of your arms
And carry me through eternity
In the shelter of your arms"
