Lyrics
LISTEN TO MY PRAYERS
Last night I took my troubles to bed
Tossed and turned half awake
Then I dreamed that I was a child again
And I heard my Momma say
"Say your prayers to me, sweet baby
I'll hold your hand while you do"
Then I felt the troubles lift from my heart
And I slept the whole night through
Life was so simple then
Sweet dreams take me back again
To the nights when I'd lay down, and lay down my cares
When Momma would listen to my prayers
If I close my eyes I can see her
There by the side of my bed
Reaching out, smoothing my hair
Kissing the top of my head
Life was so simple then
Sweet dreams, take me back again
To the nights when I'd lay down, and lay down my cares
When Momma would listen to my prayers
