Sophie B. Hawkins - As I Lay Me Down Airplay Mix lyrics

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 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 The sun comes out again When the sun comes out again Comes out, comes out again I will wake up happy This I pray
