[Verse]
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

[Chorus][x2]
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
