As I Lay Me Down

Sophie B. Hawkins

Sophie B. Hawkins - As I Lay Me Down

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

(chorus) 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

(repeat chorus)

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

(repeat chorus)

I’m still recalling things you said to make me feel alright
I carry 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
And I’ll whisper your name into the sky
And I will wake up happy

Mid-90s nostalgia

Listen

I wonder why I feel so high. Though I am not above the sorrow. Heavy hearted. Till you call my name…

Does this shit not take you BACK? BACK TO THE DAY THAT THEY TALK ABOUT WHEN THEY SAY “BACK IN THE DAY” ?

OOPS CAPS

jk lulzzz caps are never a mistake even when they are.

Dear Lesbians,

Did you know that there is speculation that in Sophie B. Hawkins’ song “As I Lay Me Down” the background vocals are “pull my taco.” Don’t worry, it isn’t actually “pull my taco,” but how gay is that?

Additionally…

In conclusion, this is funny shit and yeah, we all knew she was gay, but this shows HOW gay.

It felt like spring time on this February morning
In a 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”
