As I lay my head to rest, br I pray my dreaming will be blessed: br With glittering starlight upon the moon, br Floating like a lost balloon. br With chuckling streams that catch the light, br And songbirds trilling with delight. br With soft white clouds in pure blue skies, br A lilting breeze that gently sighs. br With weeping willows that quietly droop br Their shadows, as they drape and stoop. br With blossom scents that chase the air, br Like children run without a care. br As I lay my head to sleep, br I pray my dreams are safe to keep.
