| As I lay you down to sleep I pray the lord
|
| I pray the Lord your soul to keep
|
| Cause I don’t need that much for me
|
| This is a Mother’s Prayer
|
| I pray for angels by your side
|
| Ask they watch you day and night
|
| Walk with you all through your life
|
| This is a Mother’s Prayer
|
| I pray that all the dreams you dream come true
|
| And every star you wish upon
|
| Grants every wish times two
|
| I hope one day you get the chance
|
| To truly see
|
| What real love is
|
| Like you’ve showed me
|
| As I watch you fast asleep
|
| I close my eyes and pray for peace
|
| Cause now it means much more to me
|
| This is a Mother’s Prayer
|
| And as you grow as seasons pass
|
| I hope that time won’t move too fast
|
| Though it is too much to ask
|
| This is a Mother’s Prayer
|
| I pray that when you give your heart
|
| It’s true
|
| And all the love you give away
|
| Comes back to you two times two
|
| I hope one day you get the chance
|
| To truly see
|
| What real love is
|
| And what you mean to me
|
| In this great big world you can’t stay small forever
|
| Cause before I know it you’ll be grown
|
| And standing on your own
|
| But I hope these words are something
|
| That you’ll treasure
|
| And you get the chance to whisper them
|
| To children of your own
|
| I pray that all the dreams you dream
|
| Come true
|
| And every star you wish upon
|
| Grants every wish times two
|
| I hope one day you get the chance
|
| To truly see
|
| What real love is
|
| Like you’ve showed me
|
| This is a Mother’s Prayer |
