| Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep |
|
| Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray that my sanity to keep; For if some peace I do not find, I'm pretty sure I'll lose my mind. I pray I find a little quiet Far from the daily family riot; May I lie back, not have to think About what they're stuffing down the sink, Or who they're with, or where they're at, And what they're doing to the cat. I pray for time all to myself (Did something just fall off a shelf?) To cuddle in my nice, soft bed (Oh no! Another goldfish . . . dead!) Some silent moments for goodness sake (Did I just hear a window break?) And that I need not cook or clean . . . (Well heck! I've got the right to dream!) Yes now I lay me down to sleep I pray my wits about me keep; But as I look around I know . . . I must have lost them long ago! |
