As I lay me down - Sophie B. Hawkins

It felt like springtime on this february morning
In a courtyard birds were singing your praise
I'm still recalling things you've 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 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 its sound like church bell
Or a 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 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 whisper
Your name into the sky and I will wake up happy
