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 

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
