As I Lay Me Down

It felt like springtime on this February morning
A E A A/G# D
In a courtyard birds were singing your praise
E F#m D
I'm still recalling things you said to make me feel
A E
Alright, I carried them with me today, now... 

A E Dsus2 E
As I lay me down to sleep
A E Dsus2 E
Yes I pray, that you will hold me dear
A E Dsus2 E
Though I'm far away, I'll whisper your name
A E Dsus2 E
Into the sky, and I will wake up happy

A A/G# D... 
I wonder why... I feel so high
Though I'm not above the sorrow, heavy hearted
'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... 

Now as I lay me down to sleep
Yes 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

As I lay me down to sleep
Yes 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
Eb Bb Ab Bb
Though it's not clear to me, every season has its change
C D Dsus2 D* 2 D 2 D*
And I will see you when the sun comes out again... 

As I lay me down to sleep
Yes 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

As I lay me down to sleep
Yes 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
Mmmm... the sun comes out, again
When the sun comes out, again
When the sun comes out, again
When the sun comes out, again
Ohh... Sun comes out, again
When the sun comes out, again
Mmmm... comes out, comes out
I will wake up happy
So I pray... comes out
My baby holds me again
When my baby holds me again
My baby....
