Now I Lay Me...

by Matt Carroll   Aug 15, 2017


Now I lay me down to sleep
But in my dreams you'll surely keep
If I should die before I wake
Know that my heart was yours to take

Now I lay me down to sleep
Into my thoughts your care does seep
If I should die before I wake
My bond to you did never break

Now I lay me down to sleep
My longing soul for you does weep
If I should die before I wake
Last thoughts of you my mind did make

Now I lay me down to sleep
Into my veins a lust does creep
If I should die before I wake
Upon our love my life I'd stake

    It reminds me a little of a rhyme my mother used to read to me.
