Breathe Tonight

I know tonight
I will wake up again
To something so subtle 
And reach for you hand

Under the darkness
And deep in the sheets
Theres only one thing
One heart only beats

One breath only breathes
One dream only drempt
To not have you there 
Is to be held in contempt 

Contempt with my heart
On what needs to be
And that thing is 
You next to me

With heart beats and breathing
Hands made as one
A dream meant forever
O god here the sun
