As I Lay Me Down

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 (ooh la kah koh)
 This I pray
 That you will hold me dear
 Though I'm far away
 I'll whisper your name into the sky (ooh la kah koh)
 And I will wake up happy
 Oh, darling
 As I lay me down to sleep (ooh la kah koh)
 This I pray
 That you will hold me dear
 Though I'm far away
 I'll whisper your name into the sky (ooh la kah koh)
 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 (ooh la kah koh)
 This I pray
 That you will hold me dear
 Though I'm far away
 I'll whisper your name into the sky (ooh la kah koh)
 And I will wake up happy
 As I lay me down to sleep (ooh la kah koh)
 This I pray
 That you will hold me dear
 Though I'm far away
 I'll whisper your name into the sky (ooh la kah koh)
 And I will wake up happy
 
 I wonder why (ooh la kah koh)
