As I Lay Me Down -- Sophie B. 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

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

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


This song is actually a ballad in memory of her father. Hawkins has struggled to overcome problems with her dysfunctional relationship with her mother and brother; so with that in mind, her father might have been her main source of stability in her home.
