As I lay you down to sleep I pray the lord
I pray the Lord your soul to keep
Cause I don't need that much for me
This is a Mother's Prayer
I pray for angels by your side
Ask they watch you day and night
Walk with you all through your life
This is a Mother's Prayer
I pray that all the dreams you dream come true
And every star you wish upon
Grants every wish times two
I hope one day you get the chance
To truly see
What real love is
Like you've showed me
As I watch you fast asleep
I close my eyes and pray for peace
Cause now it means much more to me
This is a Mother's Prayer
And as you grow as seasons pass
I hope that time won't move too fast
Though it is too much to ask
This is a Mother's Prayer
I pray that when you give your heart
It's true
And all the love you give away
Comes back to you two times two
I hope one day you get the chance
To truly see
What real love is
And what you mean to me
In this great big world you can't stay small forever
Cause before I know it you'll be grown
And standing on your own
But I hope these words are something
That you'll treasure
And you get the chance to whisper them
To children of your own
I pray that all the dreams you dream
Come true
And every star you wish upon
Grants every wish times two
I hope one day you get the chance
To truly see
What real love is
Like you've showed me
This is a Mother's Prayer
