As I Lay Me Down Deux

You felt like springtime on this February morning In a courtyard, birds were singing your praise I'm still recalling things you said To make me feel all right I carry 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 'til you call my name And it sounds like church bells Or the whistle of a train on a Summer evening I want 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 (Hold out this hand) 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 Thought 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 Oh-oh, 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 Mm, the sun comes out again When the sun comes out again When the sun comes out again When the sun comes out Oh, the sun comes out again When the sun comes out again Mm, comes out, comes out Oh, wake up happy 'Cause I pray
