Bb Dm Eb   

                F                          Gm                 Eb
It felt like springtime on this February morning
          Bb                             F                  Bb      Dm Eb
In the courtyard birds were singing your praise
                F                          Gm                          Eb Bb 
I'm still recalling things you said to make me feel alright
                       F
I carried them with me today, Now

Chorus:
Bb   F         Eb          F
As I lay me down to sleep
          Bb
This I pray
        F                        Eb     F
That you will hold me dear
                        Bb
Though I'm far away
     F           Eb             F            Bb
I'll whisper your name into the sky
       F                    Eb      F
And I will wake up happy

Verse:
              Bb Dm Eb      F                           Gm                    Eb
I wonder why I feel so high Though I am not above the sorrow
          Bb                     F           Bb    Dm
Heavy hearted Till you call my name
                             Eb                          F                 Gm
And it sounds like church bells Or the whistle of a train
                      Eb                        Bb                 
On a summer evening I'll run to meet you
              F
Barefoot barely breathing

Chorus

Bridge:
Bb             Db           Ab
  It's not too near for me
       Gb                Db    
Like a flower I need the rain
                E        B   
Though it's not clear to me
      A              B      
Every season has its change
           Db      
And I will see you
         Eb                 
When the sun comes out again

Chorus
