As the Day Grows Late

--------------------- Eyes closing as the day grows late, you've waged your war on sleep and lost And in my arms, your puppy weight secures my love at any cost Full grown, you commandeer my bed, eyes closing as the day grows late and pinned beneath your golden head, I'm helpless to negotiate When years and aging joints mandate you climb into my bed no more, eyes closing as the day grows late, I feel for you down on the floor The best Friend I will ever meet No Boy so good has lived, to date I tell you so and watch your sweet eyes closing as the day grows late ---------------------
