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


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 

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'll stay
