I'm trying to find the words for a song I've heard performed by Willie Nelson, called The Shelter of Your Arms. Can anyone help?

I found it on a web-site that seems to be no longer.

SHELTER OF YOUR ARMS
Willie Nelson

Now I lay me down to sleep
And if I sleep perhaps I'll dream
And if I dream I'll be with you
In the shelter of your arms
 
I pray that God will leave the night
And grant me time before the light
For the light of day will take me from
The shelter of your arms
 
And though I know its just a dream
A dream that soon must end
The arms I feel I know are real
And I'm happy once again
 
And if I die while I'm asleep
I pray my dreams He'll let me keep
And carry me through eternity
In the shelter of your arms
