It felt like a 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
(chorus)
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
(chorus)
As I lay me down to sleep
This I pray
That you will hold me dear
Though I am far away
I’ll whisper your name into the sky
And I will wake up happy
(chorus 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 it’s change
And I will see you
When the sun comes out again
(chorus)
(chorus repeat)
