This night I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
This prayer I still remember
'Though it's been so many years

If I should die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take
These words would bring me comfort
And would drive away my fears

Childhood memories of happy days gone by
Of games that you and I would sometimes play
And looking back I think about what might have been
But in my heart I know it's just a childhood dream

Building castles on the sand
We ran together hand in hand
And everything we used to do together

Running, laughing in the snow
Back in those days we didn't know
That in time we'd grow apart from one another

Childhood memories of happy days gone by
Of games that you and I would sometimes play
And looking back I think about what might have been
But in my heart I know it's just a childhood dream

Childhood memories of happy days gone by
Of games that you and I would sometimes play
And looking back I think about what might have been
But in my heart I know it's just a childhood dream

This night I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
