This night I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
This prayer I still remember
'Though it's been so many years.
If I should die before I wake
I pray The Lord my soul to take
These words would bring me comfort
And would drive away my fears
Childhood memories of happy days gone by
Of games that you and I would sometimes play
And looking back I think about what might have been
But in my heart I know it's just a childhood dream
Building castles on the sand
We ran together hand in hand
And everything we used to do together
Running laughing in the snow
Lacking those things we didn't know
But in time we grew apart from one another
Childhood memories of happy days gone by
Of games that you and I would sometimes play
And looking back I think about what might have been
But in my heart I know it's just a childhood dream
Childhood memories of happy days gone by
Of games that you and I would sometimes play
And looking back I think about what might have been
But in my heart I know it's just a childhood dream
This night I lay me down to sleep
I pray The Lord my soul to keep
