Sleep

I'm sitting in the dark

And watching you sleep

I'm wide awake and you are breathing deep

There's nothing on my mind

No promises to keep

I'm happy ever after and I'm not counting sheep

I'm sitting in the dark

Counting my blessings

And watching you sleep

I'm waiting for the dawn

Trying not to yawn

And watching you sleep

The light across the street

Illuminates the gloom

And but for your slow breath it's like a tomb

I close the bathroom door

And carefully I tiptoe round the room

I want to wake you up but it will be daylight soon

I'm sitting in the dark

Counting my blessings

And watching you sleep

I'm waiting for the dawn

Trying not to yawn

And watching you sleep

I'm sitting in the dark

Counting my blessings

And watching you sleep

I'm waiting for the dawn

Trying not to yawn

And watching you sleep
