As I Lay Me Down 
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 alright
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 churchbells
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
I'll whisper your name into the sky
And I will wake up happy

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
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
I'll whisper your name into the sky
And I will wake up happy

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

The sun comes out again
When the sun comes out again
When the sun comes out again...
I will wake up happy
