Let me kneel by the side of my mother
As my evening prayers I recite
Dear lord make me a child again
Just for tonight
Let me walk through the fields with my father
In that time between shadow and light
Dear lord make me a child again
Just for tonight
There's a little brown church with a steeple
Where they taught me the right from the wrong
Let me be with those god fearing people
And join in the prayer and the song
Help me climb from this valley of teardrops
To that faraway mountain so bright
Dear lord make me a child again
Just for tonight
backing
Help me climb from this valley of teardrops
To that faraway mountain so bright
short musical
Dear lord make me a child again
Just for tonight
