Hawkins], retrieved 20180825. }} 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. It appeared in the 1995 film Now and Then and the TV series Party of Five (with Hawkins performing it as a guest star){{when|date=September 2018}} and in the 1998 pilot of Dawson's Creek. "As I Lay Me Down" was the second US single released from the album Whaler. {{cn span|With disappointing sales of the first single, "Right Beside You"|date=August 2018}}, the song was released with little fanfare (a photograph of Sophie dressed as a sailor was the focus of 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. The song was also included on the album All Time Greatest Movie Songs, released by Columbia Records in 1999. Music videoThe music video (directed by Sophie Muller) depicts Hawkins singing while sitting on stairs outside an apartment building in her hometown of New York City. It flashes to Hawkins in a forest swinging on a swing, lying on a tree branch, sitting in a boat, and sitting on a bench. It also shows a little girl running through the forest representing Hawkins as a child. Chart{{col-begin}}{{col-2}}Weekly charts
