A Mother's Prayer

A Mother's Prayer - Jim Brickman (金.布里克曼)/Carnie Wilson

As I lay you down to sleep

I pray the Lord your soul to keep

'Cause I don't need that much for me

This is a mother's prayer

I prayed for angels by your side

Ask they watch you day and night

Walk with you all through your life

This is a mother's prayer

I pray that all the dreams you dream come true

And every star you wish upon

Grants every wish times two

I hope one day you'll get the chance

To truly see

What real love is

Like you're showing me

As I watch you fast asleep

I close my eyes and pray for peace

'Cause now it means much more to me

This is a mother's prayer

And as you grow and the seasons pass

I hope that time won't move too fast

Though it is too much to ask

This is a mother's prayer

I pray that when you give your heart it's true

And all the love you give away

Comes back to you times two

I hope one day you'll get the chance

To truly see

What a real love is

And what you mean to me

In this great big world

You can't stay small forever

'Cause before I know you'll be grown

And standing on your own

But I hope these words are something that you'll treasure

And you'll get the chance to whisper them

To children of your own

I pray that all the dreams you dream come true

And every star you wish upon

Grants every wish times two

I hope one day you'll get the chance

To truly see

What real love is

Like you're showing me

This is a mother's prayer
