As I Lay Me Down Lyrics by Sophie B. Hawkins

As I Lay Me Down Lyrics

    It felt like spring time on this February morning
    It felt like spring time on this February morning
    In the courtyard birds were singing your praise
    In the courtyard birds were singing your praise
    I'm still recalling things you said to make me feel
    I'm still recalling things you said to make me feel
    Alright I carried them with me today now
    Alright I carried them with me today now


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


    I wonder why
    I wonder why
    I feel so high though I am not above the sorrow
    I feel so high though I am not above the sorrow
    Heavy hearted 'till you call my name
    Heavy hearted 'till you call my name
    And it sounds like church bells or the whistle of a train
    And it sounds like church bells or the whistle of a train
    On a summer evening I'll run to meet you barefoot
    On a summer evening I'll run to meet you barefoot
    Barely breathing
    Barely breathing


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


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


    It's not too near for me
    It's not too near for me
    Like a flower I need the rain
    Like a flower I need the rain
    Though it's not clear to me
    Though it's not clear to me
    Every season has its change
    Every season has its change
    And I will see you
    And I will see you
    When the sun comes out again
    When the sun comes out again


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


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


    I wonder why
    I wonder why
    (hmmm)
    (hmmm)
    When the sun comes out again
    When the sun comes out again
    When the sun comes out again
    When the sun comes out again
    When the sun comes out again
    When the sun comes out again
    When the sun comes out again (oooh)
    When the sun comes out again (oooh)
    When the sun comes out again
    When the sun comes out again
    When the sun comes out again (hmmm)
    When the sun comes out again (hmmm)
    (comes out comes out oooh)
    (comes out comes out oooh)
    And I will wake up happy
    And I will wake up happy
    So I pray
    So I pray
