Sophie B. Hawkins - As I Lay Me Down (Acoustic) lyrics

It 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 till 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, only 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 When the sun comes out again When the sun comes out again When the sun comes out again When the sun comes out Oh, when the sun comes out again When the sun comes out again Ooh, ooh, comes out, comes out Oh, wake up happy 'Cause I pray Comes out, here we go again Ooh, here we go again, baby
