Watching You Sleep
I watch you in your peaceful sleep
Dreaming a dream, something sweet
The smile on your face leaves no doubt
This is something you are happy about
A sigh, a whisper and then a grin
It is as if you’re giving in
I wonder what your dream really is
What is your wish and where does it live
I pray to learn to live like you
And then I find I already do
As you turn toward me onto your side
You reach out for me, I melt inside
I never knew such happiness until now
I seemed to doubt your love somehow
As you speak my name soft and low
It’s me you dream of, please don’t let me go.
