AS I LAY ME DOWN

Sophie B. Hawkins

C  F  



                   G                         Am        F

It felt like a spring time on this February morning

           C                             G                C        F

In the courtyard birds were singing your praise

             G                     Am                   F        C

I'm still recalling things you said to make me feel alright

                       G

I carried them with me today

Now

CHORUS:  

C     G         F           G

As I lay me down to sleep

          C

This I pray

        G                        F

That you will hold me dear

G                       C

Though I'm far away

     G         F              G             C

I'll whisper your name into the sky

      G                     F          G

And I will wake up happy



C               G F              G

I wonder why   I feel so high

                    Am                 F

Though I am not above the sorrow

                 C

Heavy hearted

             G         C

Till you call my name

G                           F

And it sounds like church bells

           G               Am

Or the whistle of a train

                      F

On a summer evening

               C

I'll run to meet you

                G

Barefoot barely breathing

CHORUS X2

C               Eb        Bb

It's not too near for me

           G#                     Eb

Like a flower I need the rain

                        F#           C#

Though it's not clear to me

            B                  C#

Every season has it's change

                Eb

And I will see you

                F

When the sun comes out again
