Sleep

Darling, you sleep
Close your eyes
Let me hold you
Caress your skin
Kiss your lips

Fall asleep in my arms
Let me watch over you
Protect you, hold you
Feel the warmth of my skin
Pressed against yours

Feel the warmth of my breath
As I kiss your lips
Darling, you sleep
Close your eyes
I Love You
