The Shelter of Your Arms

Now I lay me down to sleep

And if I sleep, perhaps I'll dream.

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.

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
