It felt like springtime on this February morning in a court yard
|
|
Birds were singing your praise
|
|
I'm still recalling things
|
|
You said to make me feel alright
|
|
I carried them with me today now
|
|
**
|
|
A 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 Bare foot barely breathing
|
|
**
|
|
happy Oh,darling
|
|
happy
|
|
**
|
|
It's not too near for me
|
|
like a flower I need the rain though it's not clear to me
|
|
Every seas on 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 for away
|
|
I'll whisper
|
|
Your name into the sky
|
|
And I will wake up happy
|
|

As I lay me down
