Keep My Heart Awake
My heart
In a slumber so deep
Almost as if poison
Has put me to sleep
But you’re the one
Just that one special person
Your smile
Makes me smile
Your laugh
Like the jingling of bells
Your words are so soft and kind
It makes my heart rewind
Puts thoughts in my mind
Maybe it’s time
To give love another chance
To let my heart dance
In the joy you make me feel
That feeling deep in my heart
Like a shiver down my spine
But the good kind
The kind that makes me want to stay with you forever
Together
You’ll keep my heart alive
Aware of the love I have
So please
The fact that I’m awake
Don’t make it a mistake
The heartbreak
Will just be too much
My heart will just fall asleep forever
Never again to be awake
