Lirieke: Sophie B. Hawkins. 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

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

I wonder why
The sun comes out again
When the sun comes out again
When the sun comes out again
When the sun comes out again

Oh 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 now

And every morning again
And every morning again
And every
