Sophi B Hawkins--At the end of the song, like a coda, what are the background vocals saying? "Now I've got hope"??

As I Lay Me Down
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
1-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
Till you call my name and it sounds like church bells
Or the whistle of a train on a Summer evening
I went to meet you barefoot, barely breathing
(rpt 1, 1)
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
(rpt 1)
And I wait for and I wait for, and I wait for
When the sun comes out again
When the sun comes out again
When the sun comes out, when the sun comes out
When the sun comes out again
And we gotta keep holding on
We gotta keep holding on, we gotta keep holding on
I will wake up happy

It felt like springtime on this February morning
In the courtyard birds were singing your praise
I'm still recalling things you said to make me feel alright
I carried them with me today, Now
(chorus) 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'll run to meet you
Barefoot barely breathing
(repeat chorus)
It's not too near for me
Like a flower I need the rain
Though it's not clear to me
Every season has its change
And I will see you
When the sun comes out again
(repeat chorus)

Though I'm far away
I'll whisper your name into the sky
And I will wake up happy
Oh darlin'
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
Though it's not clear to me
Every season has it's 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
Repeat twice
When the sun comes out again
I will wake up happy
This I pray

I know this sounds crazy but if you listen VERY closely they are singing "I like tacos, you like tacos, we like tacos"..... seriously! I think it is subliminal advertising for Taco Hell.
(a few minutes later)..... ok I found out it is "Oooh la kah koh". No idea what that means but I could really go for a taco right about now.
