Lyric As I Lay Me Down

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
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

Oh, 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 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
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
(repeat twice)

when the sun comes out again....
I will wake up happy....
This I pray....
