Sleeping Together

Let’s paint the cloudy sky A brilliant shade of black Let’s add some shimmering stars And mark our names with simply our feelings Let’s light the candles darling Let’s switch off the lights Let’s make love my sweetheart Under the candle light Wrap your arms around me, There’s no need to let go I want to feel your warm skin Against mine so close Sometimes I would watch you sleeping Your body lay so peacefully I longed to reach out and touch you But I didn’t want you to move. Your brown eyes sealed shut, Watching every breath leak out Giggling softly in adoration Of your little helpless snores Dream of me my love, While your head walks the heavens I’m watching over you now, Like an angel from above
