Song for a Sleeping Girl

I had to taste to see it close
But you’re already there
Right next to me
How could you ever find
A better place to be
You’re breathing slowly
I let you hold me
I left you so many times
While you were next to me
Your brown hair on the bed
I wanted you to see
This is a song
For a silent sleeping girl
She wants nothing
But to wake and find you there
The words you whisper
They fade in morning
Then I look at her
And her sleeping face
Her foot resting in mine
And then I know my place
This is a song
For a silent sleeping girl
She wants nothing
But to wake and find you there
You there
