[Dm]
[Eb] It felt [F] like springtime [Gm] on this February [Eb] morning, [Bb] in a courtyard [F] birds were singing [Bb] your praise.
[Dm]
[Eb] I'm [F] still recalling [Gm] things you said to make [Eb] me feel [Bb] alright.
I [F] carry them with me [Bb] today now as [F] I lay [Eb] me down [F] to sleep.
[Bb] Yes, I pray [F] that you will [Eb] hold me dear, [F] though [Bb] I'm far away.
[F] I'll whisper [Eb] your [F] name into [Bb] the sky [F] and I will [Eb] wake up happy.
[F] I [Bb] wonder [Dm] why [Eb] I feel [F] so high, though [Gm] I am not above [Eb] the summer.
[Bb] Heavy hearted, [F] till you call [Bb] my [Dm] name.
And it sounds [Eb] like church bells, [F] all the way through [Gm] the [Eb] summer,
it [Bb] makes you [Fm] barefoot, barely [Bb] breathing.
As [F] I lay [Eb] me down [F] to sleep, [Bb] yes I pray [F] that you will [Eb] hold me dear, [F] though [Bb] I'm far away.

[F] I'll whisper [Eb] your [F] name into [Bb] the sky [F] and I will [Eb] wake up happy.
[F] [Bb] It's not [Db] too near [Ab] for me, [Gb] like a flower [Db] underneath the rain.
Though [E] it's not clear [B] to me, [A] every season [B] has its change.
And I [Db] will see you [Eb] when the sun goes
[Bb] down.
