As I pray

As I lay myself down to sleep
I pray to lord my soul to keep
and if I die before I wake
I pray to lord my soul to take

But now time has taken me from me
and my soul to you
will be the key

Before you lay, every night
take a pencil and then you write
the words that you wish to say
the day you noticed
I went away

And by you doing this,
your love for me, will not be missed
for I will feel your ever thought
but by you writing, I’ll feel the love of your heart

Now it’s time for me to go away
Good Bye to you
and shall you life your life,
as thought this is your only day.
