@donnybun08: As I Lay Me Down - Sophie B. Hawkins (1994) "As I lay me down" is a phrase most famously associated with the song by Sophie B. Hawkins, but it also refers to an old prayer that dates back to the 18th century. The song's lyrics express a yearning for a loved one who is far away, while the traditional prayer is a bedtime plea for protection and guidance while sleeping. #sophiebhawkins #asilaymedown #lyrics #ballad #90s
