It felt like Springtime on this February morning
In a courtyard birds were singing your praise
I'm still recalling things you said to make me feel
All right I carry them with me today now
1-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
Till you call my name and it sounds like church bells
Or the whistle of a train on a Summer evening
I went to meet you barefoot, barely breathing
(rpt 1, 1)
It's not too near for me like a flower I need the rain
Thought it's not clear to me every season has its change
And I will see you when the sun comes out again
(rpt 1)
And I wait for and I wait for, and I wait for
When the sun comes out again
When the sun comes out again
When the sun comes out, when the sun comes out
When the sun comes out again
And we gotta keep holding on
We gotta keep holding on, we gotta keep holding on
I will wake up happy
纽约女歌手Sophie B. Hawkins藉由音乐反射出其特立独行、大胆及反传统的个性,丰富的生活与音乐历练,以及遗传自作家母亲与哲学家父亲的细腻感触与深刻观点,因而与同期出道的Tori Amos,一同被视为新生代的才女歌手代表。「As I Lay Me Down」这首抒写感怀的小品作获得了1995年流行单曲榜Top6及成人抒情榜Top1的排行佳绩,呈现出了其轻柔淑美的一面。
