song by willie nelson : shelter of your arms : lyrics

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 realAnd 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
