Sophie B Hawkins - as i lay me down

It felt like springtime 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

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

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

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

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

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

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
