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
