Lay Me Down To Dream

The Dove
by Brian Crain

Lay Me Down to Dream

Lay me down to dream, I said

And looked deep into your eyes

I am so tired and weary now

I need some lullabies.

Lay me down to dream, my love

My days have been so long

I need to rest upon your chest

I need to hear your song.

Lay me down to dream, I plead

My dreams have flown away

I cannot think or recall them

I don't know how to make them stay.

But there within your gentle hands

And in your tender touch

Is every dream I've ever had

And all I love so much.

Pull me close there in your arms

And think of what I've said

Then when I'm calm, then lay your hands

Upon my weary head.

And transfer every dream in you

That you can give or spare

And send me to that land of dreams

Where I can meet you there.

I do not know the way, my love

I can't find it on my own

Bestow on me that precious gift

Known to yourself, alone.

I've traveled many miles, you know

On a recent treacherous route

And found myself in perilous places

With no one to lead me out.

But there were angels and there was you

And the good Lord up above

And He blessed me with a road map back

And a light made out of love.

And I've come back from darkest dark

With a new mission, it does seem

But I need you now to sing me to sleep

And lay me down to dream.
