Every night before the lights go out,
I say a silent prayer.
My hands clasped firmly together,
I thank God that you are there.
With daily troubles in and out,
Your arms are like an overcoat I wear.
With my my eyes closed and my head bowed,
I thank God he put you here.
And with all my heart I say to him,
"Thank you Lord for me he is very dear."
My fingers begin to loosen,
My eyes still tightly closed,
My head has slightly lifted,
As I say just one last thing.
I say "Lord, before I go to sleep,
And wake up before the Heaven's above,
I just wanted to tell you,
Thank you for sending me love!"
