While You Sleep

I don't say I love you quite enough I know

Sometimes I go for days

I'm ashamed to say

The world moves so fast

The words come so slow

And I let those excuses get in my way

But while you sleep

Sometimes I lie awake and watch you breathe

And in the silence that surrounds the dead of night

I bare my soul and all the words sound right

I pray the Lord our hearts to keep

While You Sleep

The days march through our lives like a soft parade

Laughter and the tears

Our hopes and fears

And I keep remembering things I forget to say

Perhaps some day

I'll let you know my dear
