When You Sleep

As you lay to sleep, feel my beating 

Heart, 

It beats as rigorously for you now, 

As it did back at the start. 

And when you close your eyes, always 

Picture me there, 

As the thought of you having to lie 

Alone, is a thought I cannot bare. 

With every breath you take, I thank 

The heavens above, 

For surely the stars themselves have 

Written out our love. 

With every morning rise, I fall down 

To my knees, 

Repeating the words I've said before, 

Never leave me, please. 

My soul is to the moon, for t'is there 

I see your face, 

Looking down on only me, disregarding 

The human race. 

A diamond I do not bring, never will 

It be enough, 

For you id take the stars themselves, 

Then place you back above. 

When your by my side, the world 

Becomes complete, 

If I could turn back the hands of 

Time, this night I would repeat. 

The setting sun would grace the 

Sky, forever as your crown, 

If the world were mine id hold it 

There, never to let it go down.
