As I Lay Me Down - 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
