Now I lay me down to sleep...
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake
I'll know this life was just a fake.
                                          
                                                        Now I lay me down to sleep
                                                        I pray the Lord my soul to keep
                                                        May I die before I wake?
                                                        It is my life I wish to take.

Now I lay me down to sleep
I Pray the lord my soul to take.
Please let me die befor I wake
I give my life for you to take.
                                                     Now I lay me down to sleep
                                                     I close my eyes, begin to weep
                                                     My soul will die before I wake
                                                     This is Suicide and no mistake.

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
Why can't I die before I wake?
Please tell me that it's not too late.
              
                                                                                                              
                                                       Now I lay me down to sleep
                                                       I pray the Lord my soul to keep
                                                       Why can't I die before I wake?
                                                       There is no happiness at stake.

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
In the morning I will be dead
I took my life in my lover's bed.
                            
                                                         Now I lay me down to sleep
                                                         I pray the Lord my soul to keep
                                                         If I do not die before I wake,
                                                         Another attemptI  will have to make.
