It felt like spring time
on this February morning
In a courtyard
birds were singin' 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
'til 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 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
I wonder why
Oo oo
The sun comes out again
When the sun comes out again
When the sun comes out again
When the sun comes out
Oh oh
When the sun comes out again
When the sun comes out again
Oo oo oo
And that
And that
And that
Oh oh oh
I will wake up happy
So I pray
