    A A/G# D2
                                E                           F#m                        D2
              It felt like springtime on this February morning
                      A                                 E                  A         A/G#  D2
              In a courtyard birds were singing your praise
                               E                           F#m                            D2
              I'm still recalling things you said to make me feel
                 A                                E
              Alright, I carried them with me today, now

                             A2   E         D2          E
                             As I lay me down to sleep
                             Yes 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'm not above the sorrow, heavy hearted
              'Til you call my name, and it sounds like church bells
              Or the whistle of a train on a summer evening
              I want to meet you barefoot, barely breathing

                             Now as I lay me down to sleep
                             Yes 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

                             As I lay me down to sleep
                             Yes 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

                                        A2                    C           G               F                           C
                                             It's not too near for me, like a flower I need the rain
                                                                       Eb         Bb             Ab                   Bb
                                             Though it's not clear to me, every season has its change
                                                              C                           D                       D2
                                             And I will see you when the sun comes out again

                             As I lay me down to sleep
                             Yes 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

                             As I lay me down to sleep
                             Yes 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
                             Mmmm
                             The sun comes out, again
                             When the sun comes out, again
                             When the sun comes out, again
                             When the sun comes out, again
                             Ohh, sun comes out, again
                             When the sun comes out, again
                             Mmmm, comes out, comes out
                             I will wake up happy
                             So I pray - comes out
                             My baby holds me again
                             When my baby holds me again
                             My baby....
