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
this i pray
that you will hold me dear
though i'm far away
i'll whisper ooh your name into the sky
and i will wake up happy

oh, darlin'
as i lay me down to sleep
this i pray
that you will hold me dear
though i'm far away
i'll whisper ooh 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 it's 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
repeat twice

i wonder why...
