So now I lay me Down to sleep I pray the Lord My soul to keep Please let me die Before I wake So the Lord My soul, can take Then maybe I'll finally find you 'Midst the beauty Of paradise And you'll sing not of dying But living Wouldn't that be nice? Wouldn't that be nice? ________________________________________________________ Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
