While You Sleep

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 and the words come so slow And I let those excuses get in my way While you sleep sometimes I lie awake and watch you breath In the silence that surrounds the dead of night I bear my soul that all the words sound right I pray the Lord, our hearts to keep while you sleep Day's march through our lives like a sad parade Our laughter and tears our hopes and fears And I keep remembering things I forget to say And perhaps someday, I let you know my dear That while you sleep sometimes I lie awake and watch you breath In the silence that surrounds the dead of night I bear my soul that 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
