As I Lay Me Down

It felt like spring time on this February morning
In a courtyard birds were singing your praise
I'm still recalling things you said to make me feel alright
I carried them with me todayNow 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 happyI wonder why I feel so high
Though I am not above the sorrow
Heavy hearted
Till you call my nameAnd it sounds like church bells
Or the whistle of a train
On a summer evening
I'll run to meet you
Barefoot barely breathingAs 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 happyOh darlin' 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 happyIt's not too near for me
Like a flower I need the rain
Though its not clear to me
Every season has its change
And I will see you
When the sun comes out againAs 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 happyOh darlin' 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 happyI wonder why
The sun comes out again
When the sun comes out again
When the sun comes out again
When the sun comes out againOh the sun comes out again
When the sun comes out again
The sun comes out, comes out, comes out
I will wake up happy, this I pray nowAnd every morning again
And every morning again
And every
