(Allie Wrubel)
Lew Stone & the Monseigneur Band
I lay me down to sleep
I close my eyes and pray
I'll keep a rendezvous, with you
Oh, let me float apart
Away out to some magic car
and be with you, alone
Just love you for evermore
And know that evermore will you care
Just love as a lover would
I know that I could with you there
Oh dreams be kind to me
And grant me this my humble plea
As I lay me down to sleep
