the second you sleep

you close your eyes
and leave me naked by your side
you close the door so I can’t see
the love you keep inside
the love you keep for me

it fills me up
it feels like living in a dream
it fills me up so I can’t see
the love you keep inside
the love you keep for me

I stay
to watch you fade away
I dream of you tonight
tomorrow you’ll be gone
it gives me time to stay
to watch you fade away
I dream of you tonight
tomorrow you’ll be gone
I wish by God you’d stay

I stay awake
I stay awake and watch you breathe
I stay awake and watch you fly
away into the night
escaping through a dream

I stay
to watch you fade away
I dream of you tonight
tomorrow you’ll be gone
it gives me time to stay
to watch you fade away
I dream of you tonight
tomorrow you’ll be gone
I wish by God you’d stay
