for Lexi

NOW I LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP
WITH THIS WISH AND FERVENT PRAYER
FOR MY LITTLE BABY TO BE HEALTHY
COME THE MORNING AIR.

I'D LIKE TO SEE HER WALK SOMEDAY
TO GRANDMA'S ARMS OUTSTRETCHED
AND HUG ME TIGHT AND RUN AWAY
A GAME OF COURSE WE'D PLAY.

TO HEAR HER SAY IN SOFT LITTLE WORDS...
I'D BEND TO HEAR WHAT'S SAID...
SHE'D CALL ME "GRAM" AND THEN A LOOK
TO TELL ME SHE'S OK.

OH PLEASE, DEAR GOD,
HEAR MY SPECIAL PRAYER
DON'T TAKE MY LEXI AWAY.
SHE'S SO MUCH TO LEARN AND SO MUCH TO DO
THERE'S SO MUCH NEED FOR HER TO STAY.
PLEASE HEAR MY PRAYER, THIS GRANDMA'S PRAYER,
AND LET HER BE WELL TODAY.
