As I lay me down
by Sophie B. Hawkins
It felt like spring time on this February morning
In the courtyard birds were singing your praise
I'm still recalling things you said to make me feel
Alright I carried them with me today now
[Chorus:
As I lay me down to sleep
This I pray
That you will hold me dear
Though I'm far away
I'll whisper your name
Into the sky
And I will wake up happy ]
I wonder why
I feel so high though I am not above the sorrow
Heavy hearted 'till you call my name
And it sounds like church bells or the whistle of a train
On a summer evening I'll run to meet you barefoot
Barely breathing
[Chorus]
oh darling
[Chorus]
It's not too near for me
Like a flower I need the rain
Though it's not clear to me
Every season has its change
And I will see you
When the sun comes out again
[Chorus]
oh oh yes
[Chorus]
I wonder why
When the sun comes out again
[repeat]...
comes out comes out oooh
And I will wake up happy
So I pray
