Did You Have a Peaceful Night

I'm sitting on the sofa your head rests on my thigh
You haven't slept for so long , Darling won't you try
Tenderly my fingers running through your hair
Beautiful eyes getting heavy, Comforted by the love we share.

I can see that you are dreaming , A smile upon your lips
As softly I caress you with my loving fingertips .
That wonderful glow returning as an hour turns to two
Sleep well my darling , I'm here holding you .

In the early hours you're stirring , Gently my lips brush yours
I know my heart has been taken by the girl that I adore .
I lift you in my arms and carry you to bed
I spend the whole night spooning you as you sleep so contented.

Next morning when you waken , I kiss and hug you tight 
Did you sleep well my darling ? Did you have a peaceful night ?
I'm delighted to see you so refreshed , The colour restored to your cheeks
The strength of our true love  I hear in your voice as you speak.

Today will be a good day , You'll face challenges anew
My love will be with you in all you try to do 
Tonight we'll be together and i'll hug you once more 
But for now its my turn to dream of the sweet girl I adore .
