Tonight I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord your heart and soul to keep
I wish upon a thousand stars
To shine and show the angels where you are
I've got to get this message to you
I need you to hear my heart before you go away
Stay by me
There's so much to say before you leave
Trust these hands of fate
Say I'm not too late
Stay by me
I know we've walked through hell before
Just the same I couldn't love you more
Can't we put away the past
Take all the pain and let it go at last
I've got to get this message to you
I need you to hear my heart right now
Stay by me
There's so much to say before you leave
Trust these hands of fate
Say I'm not too late
Stay by me
No, I won't ask for anything, anything again
Tonight I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord your heart and soul to keep
Stay by me
I don't know just how this world would be
Words, don't fail me now
Get me through somehow
Stay by me
Stay by me
