Shelter of Your Arms
Embracing Dreams in the Shelter of Your Arms
Lyrics
Now I lay me down to sleep
Expressing a bedtime prayer, seeking comfort in sleep.
And if I sleep, perhaps I'll dream.
Hoping for pleasant dreams during sleep.
If I dream, I'll be with you,
Desiring to be with a significant other in the dream.
In the shelter of your arms.
Finding solace and protection in the embrace of a loved one.
I pray that god will lengthen night,
Asking for a longer night, wanting more time with the dream.
And grant me time before the light.
Seeking additional moments before the morning comes.
For the light of day will take me
Acknowledging that daylight will separate from the loved one.
From the shelter of your arms.
Expressing the impending loss when the night ends.
And though I know it's just a dream,
Awareness that the dream is temporary.
A dream that soon must end,
Knowing the dream will eventually conclude.
The arms I feel, I know are real,
Feeling the tangible warmth of the loved one's arms.
And I'm happy, once again.
Finding happiness in the embrace, even if fleeting.
If I die, while I am asleep,
Contemplating the possibility of death during sleep.
I pray my dreams he'll let me keep,
Hoping to preserve the dreams even in death.
And carry me through eternity
Desiring the continuation of the comforting dreams in the afterlife.
In the shelter of your arms.
Finding eternal solace and protection in the arms of the loved one.
And though I know it's just a dream,
Revisiting the acknowledgment of the dream's temporary nature.
A dream that soon must end,
Reaffirming the awareness of the dream's eventual end.
The arms I feel, I know are real
Reexperiencing the genuine warmth in the loved one's arms.
And I'm happy, once again.
Recapturing happiness in the fleeting moments of the dream.
And if I die while I am asleep,
Contemplating the possibility of death during sleep (repeated).
I pray my dreams he'll let me keep,
Hoping to preserve the dreams even in death (repeated).
And carry me through eternity
Desiring the continuation of the comforting dreams in the afterlife (repeated).
In the shelter of your arms
Finding eternal solace and protection in the arms of the loved one (repeated).
