It felt like spring time on this February morning In the 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 darling)
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 (oh oh...)
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 (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 (oooh) When the sun comes out again When the sun comes out again (hmmm) (comes out comes out oooh) And I will wake up happy So I pray
