As I Lay Me Down ("Butcher Mix")

It felt like spring time on this February morning
In a courtyard birds were singing your praise
Im 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 Im far away
Ill 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
Ill run to meet you
Barefoot, barely breathing
As I lay me down to sleep la kah
This I pray
That you will hold me dear
Though Im far away
Ill whisper your name into the sky la kah
And I will wake up happy
Oh, darling
As I lay me down to sleep la kah
This I pray
That you will hold me dear
Though Im far away
Ill whisper your name into the sky la kah
And I will wake up happy
Its not too near for me
Like a flower I need the rain
Though its 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 la kah
This I pray
That you will hold me dear
Though Im far away

Ill whisper your name into the sky la kah
And I will wake up happy
As I lay me down to sleep la kah
This I pray
That you will hold me dear
Though Im far away
Ill whisper your name into the sky la kah
And I will wake up happy
