It felt like spring time 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


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
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


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
