His age was seven years today He don't know what it is to play Each night before he goes to bed This little prayer he always says Now I lay me down to rest Dear God please give me happiness I'm praying so my dreams come true So I can walk and play with you ♪ His name they call him Willy Roy He's just a little crippled boy But now the tears roll down his cheeks I wipe them off so he can sleep Now I lay me down to rest Dear God please give me happiness I'm praying so my dreams come true So I can walk and play with you ♪ Someday I hope you can go out And play with me and walk about I won't scold if you should cry So soon, be good, my son good night Now I lay me down to rest Dear God please give me happiness I'm praying so my dreams come true So I can walk and play with you
