Sophie B. Hawkins - As I Lay Me Down lyrics

It felt like spring time on this February morning It felt like spring time on this February morning In the courtyard birds were singing your praise In the courtyard birds were singing your praise I'm still recalling things you said to make me feel I'm still recalling things you said to make me feel Alright I carried them with me today now Alright I carried them with me today now As I lay me down to sleep As I lay me down to sleep This I pray This I pray That you will hold me dear That you will hold me dear Though I'm far away Though I'm far away I'll whisper your name I'll whisper your name Into the sky Into the sky And I will wake up happy And I will wake up happy I wonder why I wonder why I feel so high though I am not above the sorrow I feel so high though I am not above the sorrow Heavy hearted 'till you call my name Heavy hearted 'till you call my name And it sounds like church bells or the whistle of a train And it sounds like church bells or the whistle of a train On a summer evening I'll run to meet you barefoot On a summer evening I'll run to meet you barefoot Barely breathing Barely breathing As I lay me down to sleep As I lay me down to sleep This I pray This I pray That you will hold me dear That you will hold me dear Though I'm far away Though I'm far away I'll whisper your name I'll whisper your name Into the sky Into the sky And I will wake up happy (oh darling) And I will wake up happy (oh darling) As I lay me down to sleep As I lay me down to sleep This I pray This I pray That you will hold me dear That you will hold me dear Though I'm far away Though I'm far away I'll whisper your name I'll whisper your name Into the sky Into the sky And I will wake up happy And I will wake up happy It's not too near for me It's not too near for me Like a flower I need the rain Like a flower I need the rain Though it's not clear to me Though it's not clear to me Every season has its change Every season has its change And I will see you And I will see you When the sun comes out again When the sun comes out again As I lay me down to sleep As I lay me down to sleep This I pray This I pray That you will hold me dear That you will hold me dear Though I'm far away Though I'm far away I'll whisper your name I'll whisper your name Into the sky Into the sky And I will wake up happy (oh oh...) And I will wake up happy (oh oh...) As I lay me down to sleep As I lay me down to sleep This I pray This I pray That you will hold me dear That you will hold me dear Though I'm far away Though I'm far away I'll whisper your name I'll whisper your name Into the sky Into the sky And I will wake up happy And I will wake up happy I wonder why I wonder why (hmmm) (hmmm) When the sun comes out again When the sun comes out again When the sun comes out again When the sun comes out again When the sun comes out again When the sun comes out again When the sun comes out again (oooh) When the sun comes out again (oooh) When the sun comes out again When the sun comes out again When the sun comes out again (hmmm) When the sun comes out again (hmmm) (comes out comes out oooh) (comes out comes out oooh) And I will wake up happy And I will wake up happy So I pray So I pray
