As I Lay Me Down

It felt like springtime on this February morning in a court yard Birds were singing your praise I'm still recalling things You said to make me feel alright I carried them with me today now ** A 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 Bare foot barely breathing ** happy Oh,darling happy ** It's not too near for me like a flower I need the rain though it's not clear to me Every seas on 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 for away I'll whisper Your name into the sky And I will wake up happy
