[Verse 1]
Bb  Dm/A  Eb              F
           It felt like springtime
       Gm          Eb         Bb                   F
On this February morning in a courtyard birds were singing your
Bb      Dm  Eb           F
praise.      I'm still recalling things you
Gm                Eb      Bb                  F
said to make me feel all right. I carry them with me today now
 
 
[Chorus]
Bb   F      Eb      F
As I lay me down to sleep, this I
Bb          F                Eb    F
pray - That you will hold me dear.  Though I'm far a-
Bb       F       Eb        F
way I`ll whisper your name  into the
Bb       F              Eb    F
sky. And I will wake up happy
 
 
[Verse 2]
         Bb  Dm  Eb          F
I wonder why      I feel so high though I am
Gm             Eb           Bb               F
not above the sorrow, heavy-hearted till you call my
Bb    Dm                    Eb                  F
name.   And it sounds like church bells or the whistle of a
  Gm              Eb                Bb                 F
train on a summer evening I want to meet you barefoot, barely breathing
 
 
[Chorus]
Bb   F      Eb      F
As I lay me down to sleep, this I
Bb          F                Eb    F
pray - That you will hold me dear.  Though I'm far a-
Bb       F       Eb        F
way I`ll whisper your name  into the
Bb       F              Eb    F
sky. And I will wake up happy. Oh darling,
 
Bb   F      Eb      F
As I lay me down to sleep, this I
Bb          F                Eb    F
pray - That you will hold me dear.  Though I'm far a-
Bb       F       Eb        F
way I`ll whisper your name  into the
Bb       F              Eb    F
sky. And I will wake up happy
 
 
[Bridge]
Bb             Db       Ab
  It`s not too near for me
       Gb                Db
Like a flower I need the rain though it's not
Emaj7    B         A              B
clear to me, every season has its change
           Db               Eb (4x)
And I will see you when the sun comes out again
 
 
[Chorus]
Bb   F      Eb      F
As I lay me down to sleep, this I
Bb          F                Eb    F
pray - That you will hold me dear.  Though I'm far a-
Bb       F       Eb        F
way I`ll whisper your name  into the
Bb       F              Eb    F
sky. And I will wake up happy
 
Bb   F      Eb      F
As I lay me down to sleep, this I
Bb          F                Eb    F
pray - That you will hold me dear.  Though I'm far a-
Bb       F       Eb        F
way I`ll whisper your name  into the
Bb       F              Eb    F
sky. And I will wake up happy
 
 
[Outro]
Bb F        Eb   F
   I wonder why
Bb F Eb  F
        Mmm,
    Bb             F              Eb             F
the sun comes out again, when the sun comes out again
         Bb             F              Eb            F
When the sun comes out again, When the sun comes out, ohh
    Bb             F              Eb             F
the sun comes out again, when the sun comes out again,
    Bb         F               Eb        F
Mmm, comes out, comes out 'n' out, ooh, oh,
        Bb    F   Eb     F
wake up happy       so I pray...
Bb F Eb F
(ad nauseam)
