I Watch You Sleep
Why won't you stay
I need to know your love
is there a way?
to make you show your love belongs to me?
You smile in your sleep
am I the theme of
the joy you dream of?
Or have I made
another sad mistake?
But I watch you wake
I watch you sleep
and wonder where you've gone
Where do your dreams fly?
Am I there?
I breathe your hair
and wonder where you've gone
Though you're beside me,
You're far away
Why don't you stay?
I need to know your love
is there a way?
to make you show your love belongs to me?
You smile in your sleep
am I the theme of
the joy you dream of?
Or have I made
another sad mistake?
But I watch you wake
I watch you sleep
I need to know your love
is there a way?
to make you show your love belongs to me?
You smile in your sleep
am I the theme of
the joy you dream of?
Or have I made
another sad mistake?
But I watch you wake
I watch you sleep
and wonder where you've gone
Where do your dreams fly?
Am I there?
I breathe your hair
and wonder where you've gone
Though you're beside me,
You're far away
Why don't you stay?
I need to know your love
is there a way?
to make you show your love belongs to me?
You smile in your sleep
am I the theme of
the joy you dream of?
Or have I made
another sad mistake?
But I watch you wake
I watch you sleep
