As I Lay Me Down (acoustic) Lyrics - The Crossing - Sophie B. Hawkins

It felt like spring time on this February morning 

In a 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 (ooh la kah koh) 

This I pray 

That you will hold me dear 

Though I'm far away 

I'll whisper your name into the sky (ooh la kah koh) 

And I will wake up happy 

Oh, darling 

As I lay me down to sleep (ooh la kah koh) 

This I pray 

That you will hold me dear 

Though I'm far away 

I'll whisper your name into the sky (ooh la kah koh) 

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 it's change 

And I will see you 

When the sun comes out again 

As I lay me down to sleep (ooh la kah koh) 

This I pray 

That you will hold me dear 

Though I'm far away 

I'll whisper your name into the sky (ooh la kah koh) 

And I will wake up happy 

As I lay me down to sleep (ooh la kah koh) 

This I pray 

That you will hold me dear 

Though I'm far away 

I'll whisper your name into the sky (ooh la kah koh) 

And I will wake up happy 

I wonder why (ooh la kah koh) 

when the sun comes out again (ooh la kah koh) 

when the sun comes out again 

when the sun comes out again 

when the sun comes out again oh 

when the sun comes out again 

when the sun comes out again mmh (ooh la kah koh) 

I will wake up happy (ooh la kah koh) 

This I pray 

... 

(ooh la kah koh)
