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 alright. I carry them with me today 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. I wonder why I feel so high, though I am not above the sorrow. Heavy hearted, dear, 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. And 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. And 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 to wait. Though it's not clear to me, every season has its change. And I will see you when the sun comes out again. And 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. And 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'll whisper your name into the sky and I will wake up happy.
