It felt like
   springtime on this February morning
   In the 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
  
   (chorus) 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
  
   (repeat chorus)
  
   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
  
   (repeat chorus)
