Story Behind The Song

I wrote this as a story to share with my kids and grandkids to share to importance of saying our prayers for everyone we know AND to NOT forget to thank God for all He does for us, too. God bless you all....

Verse 1.
It was late in the evening
And time for bed
When my son said, "Dad, a question's running through my head.
Is giving really the key to real happiness?"
I said, "Son, find whatever makes you truly happy
That can help other people, too.
And learn to share those gifts
God's put inside of you .... and.....

CHORUS
Say your prayers at night
Before you turn down the light
Prayers of thanksgiving
To the Highest of High
Say your prayers at night
To our God living above
He's The Father of Forgiveness
And The Guardian of our love"

Verse 2.
I tucked in my son
And gave him a kiss
And in the moonlight
I heard him whisper this,
"Lord, don't forget my Grandma, she was Daddy's best friend"
I said, "Don't forget a blessing for your Heavenly Father
'Cause he's always there to sing you a song
He'll rock you in His arms
And His words will make you strong .... so...."

REPEAT CHORUS

Bridge
I said, "Our Father is there to help us to live
To help build our dreams and help learn to forgive ..... so...."

REPEAT CHORUS

........don't forget to say your prayers
Don't forget to say your prayers
A simple thank you will do
Don't forget to say your prayers
For the angels watching over you
Don't forget to say your prayers

Dedicated to my boys, Chet III and Ben ..... and to God's young and old children everywhere
