[Verse 1]
     C                   F
His age is seven years today
    G                        C
He don't know what it is to play
                              F
Each night before he goes to bed
       G                      C
This little prayer he always says


[Chorus]
                      F
Now I lay me down to rest
      G                       C
Dear God please give me happiness
                               F
I'm praying so my dreams come true
     G                         C
So's I can walk and play with you

His name we call him Willy Roy
       G                    C
He's just a little crippled boy
                                 F
The tears rolldown his little cheeks
   G                        C
I wipe them off so he can sleep


[Chorus]
                      F
Now I lay me down to rest
      G                       C
Dear God please give me happiness
                               F
I'm praying so my dreams come true
     G                         C
So's I can walk and play with you

[Verse 3]
                           F
Someday I hope you can go out
     G                       C
And walk with me and play about
                          F
Now I won't scold if you cry
    G                         C
So son, be good, my son goodnight


[Chorus]
                      F
Now I lay me down to rest
      G                       C
Dear God please give me happiness
                               F
I'm praying so my dreams come true
     G               C    Dm   C
So's I can walk and play with you
