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

Our laughter and tears

Our hopes and fears

And I keep remembering things I forget to say

And perhaps some day

I'll let you know my dear



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

I pray the lord our hearts to keep

While you sleep
