* Dawn Rising *  

As I Lay Me Down
Sophie Hawkins

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

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

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

Beautiful song!! I have been searching for this song for so long.. I had no idea who sang it or the name of it. I heard it one day on the radio, and have been longing to hear it again. Thanks, lilangelwolf

You're quite welcome angelmate! I too have been delirious searching out for the song along with its lyrics. And fortunately my search didn't end up fruitless ... like they said: seek and ye shall find. Have a melodious happy day 2u both! Love u granny! (: Hugs!!! Your angel 4lyf, Rai
