Bedtime Story

N ow I lay me down to sleep
Set to dream of you with me
Hands held tight and hearts intertwined
Drunk on love and strawberry wine

I pray to you my heart to keep
Eyes so bright and lips so sweet
With your every breath my gladness shine
That I know I'm yours and that you're mine

If before I wake, I should die
I'd watch over you from my cloud in the sky
And to the gods I'd plead and pray
To allow you to join me one day

I pray to you my heart to hold
And to love me until we're old
Tonight I concentrate on your eyes of blue
So I wake up rested having dreamt of you
