The song is a ballad in which the singer reminisces about a faraway loved one as she goes to bed and hopes to see them again. It was written in memory of Hawkins' father.
"As I Lay Me Down" was actually the second U.S. single released from the album Whaler. With disappointing sales of the first single, "Right Beside You", the song was released with little fanfare (a photograph of Sophie dressed as a sailor graced the cover). Sophie then insisted that her label (Columbia) allow her to tour the country with only an acoustic piano. The song then began receiving airplay on adult contemporary stations. During the summer of 1995, it became a huge A/C hit as well as a top ten song. A remix also helped the song gain airplay on other kinds of stations. "As I Lay Me Down" (with two different video versions) peaked on the charts in the autumn of 1995.
25 is the third studio album by English singer and songwriter Adele. It was released on 20 November 2015, through XL Recordings. Following the release and international success of her second studio album 21 (2011), Adele considered quitting the music industry and going out on a positive note. However, she decided to take a hiatus instead and raise her son. During her sabbatical, she suffered from writer's block and rescheduled studio sessions for a new album, fearing she had lost her ability to write songs. In 2013, Adele had a breakthrough and the material that eventually became 25 manifested, with writing and recording continuing through 2015.
Titled as a reflection of her life and frame of mind at 25 years old, 25 is a "make-up record". The album's lyrical content features themes of Adele "yearning for her old self, her nostalgia", and "melancholia about the passage of time" according to an interview with Adele by Rolling Stone, as well as themes of motherhood and regret. In contrast to Adele's previous work, the production of 25 incorporated the use of electronic elements and creative rhythmic patterns, with elements of 1980s R&B and organs. Like 21, Adele collaborated with producer and songwriter Paul Epworth and Ryan Tedder, along with new collaborations with Max Martin and Shellback, Greg Kurstin, Danger Mouse, the Smeezingtons, Samuel Dixon, and Tobias Jesso Jr.
"Lay Me Down" is a song by English recording artist Pixie Lott from her self-titled third studio album (2014). The song was released on 25 July 2014 as the album's second and final single.
Commercial performance
"Lay Me Down" failed to chart within the top 100 of the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number 114. Nevertheless, the single reached number seventy-eight on the UK Singles Sales Chart.
Music video
The music video for "Lay Me Down" was directed by Ben Falk and filmed in Cannes, France. According to Falk, Lott wanted the video to "evoke the glamour of Brigitte Bardot". The video premiered on 5 June 2014.

As I Lay Me Down - Sophie B. Hawkins | Lyrics Video
As I Lay Me Down
by Sophie B. Hawkins
It felt like Springtime on this February morning
In a courtyard birds were singing your praise
I'm still recalling things you said to make me feel
All right 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 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 want to meet you barefoot, barely breathing
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
as I lay me down to sleep this I pray
That you will h...

Förra årets stora genombrott Wiktoria är nu tillbaka i Melodifestivalen.
Wiktoria Johansson från Brämhult i Borås har sjungit under hela uppväxten. Den stora förebilden var Whitney Houston. Vid åtta års ålder började hon ta sång- och pianolektioner och redan som tioåring deltog hon i en tv-sänd musiktävling. Sedan dess har hon vetat att det är musik hon vill jobba med.
Wiktoria har medverkat i ett flertal talangtävlingar och bildade popduon Dash4. Duon åkte ut på en sommarturné, och det var där Wiktoria blev upptäckt. Efter studenten flyttade Wiktoria upp till Stockholm för att satsa på mus...

Lyrics:
You felt like springtime on this February morning
In a courtyard, birds were singing your praise
I'm still recalling things you said
To make me feel all right
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
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 'til you call my name
And it sounds like church bells
Or the whistle of a train on a Summer evening
I want to meet you barefoot, barely breathing
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
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
It's not too near for me
Like a flower, I need the rain
Thought it's not clear to me
Every season has its change
And I will see you when the sun comes out again
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
Oh-oh, 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
Mm, the sun comes out again
When the sun comes out again
When the sun comes out again
When the sun comes out
Oh, the sun comes out again
When the sun comes out again
Mm, comes out, comes out
Oh, wake up happy
'Cause I pray

Förra årets stora genombrott Wiktoria är nu tillbaka i Melodifestivalen.
Wiktoria Johansson från Brämhult i Borås har sjungit under hela uppväxten. Den stora förebilden var Whitney Houston. Vid åtta års ålder började hon ta sång- och pianolektioner och redan som tioåring deltog hon i en tv-sänd musiktävling. Sedan dess har hon vetat att det är musik hon vill jobba med.
Wiktoria har medverkat i ett flertal talangtävlingar och bildade popduon Dash4. Duon åkte ut på en sommarturné, och det var där Wiktoria blev upptäckt. Efter studenten flyttade Wiktoria upp till Stockholm för att satsa på musiken, och förra året gjorde hon debut i Melodifestivalen med ”Save Me”. Låten låg på Svensktoppen i sju veckor.
Nu är hon tillbaka i tävlingen för andra året i rad.
– Det är mer nervöst eftersom jag känner en press att prestera lika bra, men nu vet jag hur hela tävlingen går till, och det visste jag inte förra året. Nu har jag mer koll på vad som krävs av mig, och det är härligt att veta, säger Wiktoria.
Bidraget heter ”As I Lay Me Down”.
– Min låt handlar om att känna sig vilsen och lite ensam och tro att det enda som kan ta en ur situationen är kärlek. Jag tror och hoppas att många kan relatera till den, säger Wiktoria.

Texten: As I Lay Me Down.
Oh man I’m a loner
a night time roamer
emptiness haunts me and that’s how I know
I am a brokenhearted soul
and I’ve hit rock bottom so where do I go
All I need
is for your love to save me
Begging please
I think I’m going crazy
All I know
is that I’m losing my grip
As I lay me down to sleep
I wish that you were here with me
cause I need some help to save me from myself
And I know I shouldn’t think about you but I do
all the time
My oh my
Hey
My oh my
Hey
Oh man I’m a stumbler
a straight a rumbler
looking for trouble wherever I go
And night time is calling
my judgement is falling
and I won’t give up til the sun comes up
All I know
is that I’m losing my grip
As I lay me down to sleep
I wish that you were here with me
cause I need some help to save me from myself
And I know I shouldn’t think about you but I do
all the time
As I wake up in despair
you know I say a little prayer
cause I need some help to save me from myself
And I know I shouldn’t think about you but I do

As I Lay Me Down
by Sophie B. Hawkins
It felt like Springtime on this February morning
In a courtyard birds were singing your praise
I'm still recalling things you said to make me feel
All right 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 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 want to meet you barefoot, barely breathing
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
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
It's not too near for me, like a flower I need the rain
Thought it's not clear to me every season has its change
And I will see you when the sun comes out again
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
Oh, only 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
When the sun comes out again
When the sun comes out again
When the sun comes out again
When the sun comes out
Oh, when the sun comes out again
When the sun comes out again
Ooh, ooh, comes out, comes out
Oh, wake up happy
'Cause I pray
Comes out, here we go again
Ooh, here we go again, baby

Lyrics:
You felt like springtime on this February morning
In a courtyard, birds were singing your praise
I'm still recalling things you said
To make me feel all right
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
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 'til you call my name
And it sounds like church bells
Or the whistle of a train on a Summer evening
I want to meet you barefoot, barely breathing
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
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
It's not too near for me
Like a flower, I need the rain
Thought it's not clear to me
Every season has its change
And I will see you when the sun comes out again
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
Oh-oh, 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
Mm, the sun comes out again
When the sun comes out again
When the sun comes out again
When the sun comes out
Oh, the sun comes out again
When the sun comes out again
Mm, comes out, comes out
Oh, wake up happy
'Cause I pray

Förra årets stora genombrott Wiktoria är nu tillbaka i Melodifestivalen.
Wiktoria Johansson från Brämhult i Borås har sjungit under hela uppväxten. Den stora förebilden var Whitney Houston. Vid åtta års ålder började hon ta sång- och pianolektioner och redan som tioåring deltog hon i en tv-sänd musiktävling. Sedan dess har hon vetat att det är musik hon vill jobba med.
Wiktoria har medverkat i ett flertal talangtävlingar och bildade popduon Dash4. Duon åkte ut på en sommarturné, och det var där Wiktoria blev upptäckt. Efter studenten flyttade Wiktoria upp till Stockholm för att satsa på musiken, och förra året gjorde hon debut i Melodifestivalen med ”Save Me”. Låten låg på Svensktoppen i sju veckor.
Nu är hon tillbaka i tävlingen för andra året i rad.
– Det är mer nervöst eftersom jag känner en press att prestera lika bra, men nu vet jag hur hela tävlingen går till, och det visste jag inte förra året. Nu har jag mer koll på vad som krävs av mig, och det är härligt att veta, säger Wiktoria.
Bidraget heter ”As I Lay Me Down”.
– Min låt handlar om att känna sig vilsen och lite ensam och tro att det enda som kan ta en ur situationen är kärlek. Jag tror och hoppas att många kan relatera till den, säger Wiktoria.
Artist: Wiktoria. Låtskrivare: Justin Forrest, Jonas Wallin och Lauren Dyson.
Texten: As I Lay Me Down.
Oh man I’m a loner
a night time roamer
emptiness haunts me and that’s how I know
I am a brokenhearted soul
and I’ve hit rock bottom so where do I go
All I need
is for your love to save me
Begging please
I think I’m going crazy
All I know
is that I’m losing my grip
As I lay me down to sleep
I wish that you were here with me
cause I need some help to save me from myself
And I know I shouldn’t think about you but I do
all the time
My oh my
Hey
My oh my
Hey
Oh man I’m a stumbler
a straight a rumbler
looking for trouble wherever I go
And night time is calling
my judgement is falling
and I won’t give up til the sun comes up
All I know
is that I’m losing my grip
As I lay me down to sleep
I wish that you were here with me
cause I need some help to save me from myself
And I know I shouldn’t think about you but I do
all the time
As I wake up in despair
you know I say a little prayer
cause I need some help to save me from myself
And I know I shouldn’t think about you but I do
all the time
My oh my
Hey
My oh my
Hey
My oh my
Darling I need you
more than I want to
so as I lay me down
won’t you save me
As I lay me down to sleep
I wish that you were here with me
cause I need some help to save me from myself
And I know I shouldn’t think about you but I do
all the time
As I wake up in despair
you know I say a little prayer
cause I need some help to save me from myself
And I know I shouldn’t think about you but I do
all the time
My oh my
Hey
My oh my
Hey

The Official Video for "As I Lay Me Down" by Sophie B. Hawkins.
(C) 1995 SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT
The song is a ballad in which the singer reminisces about a faraway loved one as she goes to bed and hopes to see them again. It was written in memory of Hawkins' father.
"As I Lay Me Down" was actually the second U.S. single released from the album Whaler. With disappointing sales of the first single, "Right Beside You", the song was released with little fanfare (a photograph of Sophie dressed as a sailor graced the cover). Sophie then insisted that her label (Columbia) allow her to tour the country with only an acoustic piano. The song then began receiving airplay on adult contemporary stations. During the summer of 1995, it became a huge A/C hit as well as a top ten song. A remix also helped the song gain airplay on other kinds of stations. "As I Lay Me Down" (with two different video versions) peaked on the charts in the autumn of 1995.
