Hawkins Sophie B As I Lay Me Down lyrics

It felt like spring time
On this February morning
In the rtyard
Birds were singing your praise
I`m still recalling things you said
To make me feel alright
I carried 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
and 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

As I lay me down to sleep
This I pray
That you will hold me dear
Though I`m far away
and 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
Though 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
and I`ll whisper your name
Into the sky
And I will wake up happy
