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 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 (ooh la kah koh) This I pray That you will hold me dear Though I'm far away I'll whisper your name into the sky (ooh la kah koh) And I will wake up happy Oh, darling As I lay me down to sleep (ooh la kah koh) This I pray That you will hold me dear Though I'm far away I'll whisper your name into the sky (ooh la kah koh) 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 it's change And I will see you When the sun comes out again As I lay me down to sleep (ooh la kah koh) This I pray That you will hold me dear Though I'm far away I'll whisper your name into the sky (ooh la kah koh) And I will wake up happy When the sun comes out again When the sun comes out again
