It felt like spring time

On this February morning

In the rtyard

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

and 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

and 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

and I'll whisper your name

Into the sky

And I will wake up happy
