Last night I watched you sleep as you lay there

I dropped down to my knees and said a prayer

I leaned over softly to kiss your beautiful face

But I could not cross the ocean of your grace



The moonlight held you aloft a picture of peace

The only sound was the soft breeze form the east

My heart beat dowm in my chest

To the rhythm of your gentle breath

And the whole world calmed down

For this moment of rest



Now I'm standing above you trying so hard

Not to tell you I love you

And all that I want in this world is you

If you'd only wake up

You'd know it was true



Oh baby I love you can be so hard to say

Especially when it's meant in this strong a way

But at this moment while you lie asleep

I am suddenly free

And my trembling arms reach out for you

As if you could see



Now I'm standing above you trying so hard not

To tell you I love you

And all that I want in this world is you

If you'd only wake up you'd know it was true

If you'd only wake up you'd know it was true
