When We Sleep

I never considered myself to be lonely 'til you came along my way,
saw what I had been missing
Now that I know you, I can only feel sorry for all the years wasted without you
here by me
You dance in the daytime to all your favorite songs at the foot of our bed,
tell me stories so long
Going out in the evening, counting stars in the sky your eyes in the moonlight
make me feel so sublime
And when we sleep it’s not alone we’re not alone any longer dear and when I
wake with you beside me
I feel whole I feel home
When clouds blanket the heavens, can’t see in front of our faces
Making love in the dark, our souls, our oasis in the late summer grass,
lie close in the pitch black
Rest your head on my shoulder with my hand on your back
And when we sleep it’s not alone we’re not alone any longer dear
And when I wake with you beside me I feel whole I feel home
I drink up our moments, keep them locked in my mind when the days hit me hardest
And I’m falling behind when the world seems its worst, and I’m feeling confined
And reasons to have faith become so hard to find you bring me back to earth
Hold my hand to remind love makes life worth living with our fingers entwined
And when we sleep it’s not alone we’re not alone any longer dear
And when I wake with you beside me I feel whole I feel home
