Lyrics
WHEN YOU SLEEP
No one noticed ? but I was watching
Just as you came by
The smallest glance my way
Told me everything tonight
It may seem coincidental ? inconsequential
Dismiss it as a lark
But it?s the only true believable thing
That won?t tear us apart
Did you know I watch you when you sleep
I count the breaths that seep
And every sigh so deep
So beautiful to me
Your emotions may be an ocean
Of sadness and delight
In between all your waves of doubt
You?ll catch me in your sight
Equate it to a match in heaven ? a perfect seven
Or just a good luck charm
But it?s the smallest, simplest things
That keep us both from harm
Did you know I watch you when you sleep
I count the breaths that seep
And every sigh so deep
So beautiful to me
As you slip in beneath the covers
You?ll dream on wings of flight
Then I?ll remember that day I found you
And hold that memory tight
