Sleeping Sweet
Tonight I can’t sleep, I cannot find rest at all. No this midnight hour is not kind, for you are the only thing that is on my mind. I cannot get it to shut down, I can’t get my heart to drown my thoughts of you out.
I am but a lonely girl, I am but a longing heart, wishing to be held in this room so empty, silent, and dark. So tonight I’m going to pretend you are here, no tonight you will not be 16 hours away, tonight in my heart’s mind, right next to me you lay.
Tonight I will pretend your arms are holding me tight, your body is pressed up against mine as I sleep peacefully through the night.
The beat of your heart and the sound of your breathing are so soothing, it is my sweet lullaby; my darling, you have become my midnight song.
A swirling rhythm, a cradling sound; your melody surrounds me my love, and my home I have found.
It is in your strong arms.
As I close my eyes tight I will almost be able to feel your warm breath on my skin, i will make myself believe it is not pretend.
Tonight I will pull you in close and I will snuggle in tight, with my legs wrapped in your legs, I will not move an inch until the call of the morning’s light.
Tonight I will sleep with you next to me, I will cuddle you like I did before, and I then will sleep sweetly once more.
Oh, what lovely sleep you give me.
