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

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
