As I Lay Me Down

<br>It felt like springtime on this February morning<br>In the courtyard birds were singing your praise<br>I`m still recalling things you said to make me feel alright<br>I carried them with me today, Now<br><br>(chorus) As I lay me down to sleep<br>This I pray<br>That you will hold me dear<br>Though I`m far away<br>I`ll whisper your name into the sky<br>And I will wake up happy<br><br>I wonder why I feel so high<br>Though I am not above the sorrow<br>Heavy hearted<br>Till you call my name<br>And it sounds like church bells<br>Or the whistle of a train<br>On a summer evening<br>I`ll run to meet you<br>Barefoot barely breathing<br><br>(repeat chorus)<br><br>It`s not too near for me<br>Like a flower I need the rain<br>Though it`s not clear to me<br>Every season has its change<br>And I will see you<br>When the sun comes out again<br><br>(repeat chorus)
