it felt like springtime
on this february morning
in a courtyard
birds were singing your praise
i’m still recalling things you said
to make me feel all right
i carry 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
ill 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
heavyhearted
’til you call my name
and it sounds like church bells
or the whistle of a train
on a summer evening
i want 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
ill 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
ill whisper your name
into the sky
and i will wake up happy
its not too near for me
like a flower
i need the rain
thought its 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
ill whisper your name
into the sky
and i will wake up happy
as i lay me down to sleep
this i pray
that you will hold me dear
though i’m far away
ill whisper your name
into the sky
and i will wake up happy
mmm the sun comes out again
when the sun comes out again
when the sun comes out again
when the sun comes out
oh the sun comes out again
when the sun comes out
