Hawkins Sophie B As I Lay Me Down Lyrics

As I Lay Me Down Lyrics

It felt like spring time
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
(repeat)

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
(repeat)

i wonder why...
the sun comes out
again...
hmmmm...

when the sun comes out again....
come out.. come
out again...
i will wake up happy...
