As I Lay Me Down

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] I wonder why I feel so high Though I am not above the sorrow Heavy-hearted 'Til 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 [Chorus] As I lay me down to sleep (ooh la kah koh) This I pray That you will hold me dear Though I'm far away I'll whisper your name into the sky (ooh la kah koh) And I will wake up happy Oh, darling As I lay me down to sleep (ooh la kah koh) This I pray That you will hold me dear Though I'm far away I'll whisper your name into the sky (ooh la kah koh) And I will wake up happy [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] As I lay me down to sleep (ooh la kah koh) This I pray That you will hold me dear Though I'm far away I'll whisper your name into the sky (ooh la kah koh) And I will wake up happy As I lay me down to sleep (ooh la kah koh) This I pray That you will hold me dear Though I'm far away I'll whisper your name into the sky (ooh la kah koh) And I will wake up happy I wonder why (ooh la kah koh) [Outro] Mmm, the sun comes out again (ooh la kah koh) When the sun comes out again When the sun comes out again When the sun comes out Oh, the sun comes out again When the sun comes out
