Shelter Of Your Arms Lyrics - Willie Nelson

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.
