It felt like spring time 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 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 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 I'll whisper your name into the sky And I will wake up happy
Oh darlin' 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 it's 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 Repeat twice
When the sun comes out again I will wake up happy This I pray
