As I Lay Me Down

As I Lay Me Down
Sophie B. Hawkins
It felt like spring time on this february morning
In a courtyard birds were singing your praise
Im 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 im far away
Ill 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
Ill run to meet you Barefoot, barely breathing
As i lay me down to sleep This i pray
That you will hold me dear
Though im far away
Ill whisper your name into the sky
And i will wake up happy
Oh, darlin As i lay me down to sleep
This i pray
That you will hold me dear
Though im far away
Ill whisper your name into the sky
And i will wake up happy
Its 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 again
As i lay me down to sleep
This i pray
That you will hold me dear
Though im far away
Ill 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 im far away
Ill whisper your name into the sky
And i will wake up happy
When the sun comes outagain....
I will wake up happy....
This i pray....
