I like the tune and wonder if anyone knows the title, or, better yet, the words. What little bit I can remember goes like this: Now I lay me down to rest, Please God, please grant me happiness. ______________________(brain dead) So I can come and (play?) with you. Thanks for any help you can give me. Lee |

He don't know what it is to play. Each night before he goes to bed, This little prayer he always says: (Cho.:) Now I lay me down to rest. Dear God, please give me happiness. I'm praying so my dreams come true, So I can walk and play with you. His name they call him Willy Roy. He's just a little crippled boy. But now the tears roll down his cheeks. I wipe them off so he can sleep. (Cho.) Someday I hope you can go out And play with me and walk about I won't scold if you should cry So soon, be good, my son, good night. (Cho.) |
