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 from the east
My heart beat
down in my chest
to the rhythm of
your gentle breath
And the whole
world calmed down
or 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
