"Henry?" I whisper turning on my side to look at him as he lays on his stomach with his arms under his pillow. He lets out a small 'hmm'.
"I can't sleep" I say. He sits up and holds one of his arms out gesturing for me to come closer to him.
He wraps an arm over my shoulder and pulls me into his side, his other hand resting on my leg that drapes over top of his.
I lay my head on his shoulder and close my eyes, desperately trying to get some sleep but it never comes. After a few minutes of laying there I move my head to look up at Henry.
"Henry?"
"What?" He asks tiredly.
"Will you sing to me please?"
"Yeah" He sighs and I reposition myself so my head is laying on his chest with my arms wrapped around his torso.
His voice is soft and angelic as he sings one of our favorite songs.
Hey there, Delilah What's it like in New York city? I'm a thousand miles away But, girl, tonight you look so pretty Yes, you do Times Square can't shine as bright as you I swear, it's true
Hey there, Delilah Don't you worry about the distance I'm right there if you get lonely Give this song another listen Close your eyes Listen to my voice, it's my disguise I'm by your side
Oh, it's what you do to me Oh, it's what you do to me Oh, it's what you do to me Oh, it's what you do to me What you do to me
Hey there, Delilah I know times are gettin' hard But just believe me, girl Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar We'll have it good We'll have the life we knew we would My word is good
Hey there, Delilah I've got so much left to say If every simple song I wrote to you Would take your breath away I'd write it all Even more in love with me you'd fall We'd have it all
Oh, it's what you do to me Oh, it's what you do to me Oh, it's what you do to me Oh, it's what you do to me
A thousand miles seems pretty far But they've got planes and trains and cars I'd walk to you if I had no other way Our friends would all make fun of us And we'd just laugh along because we'd know That none of them have felt this way Delilah, I can promise you That by the time that we get through The world will never ever be the same And you're to blame
Hey there, Delilah You be good, and don't you miss me Two more years and you'll be done with school And I'll be makin' history like I do You know it's all because of you We can do whatever we want to Hey there, Delilah, here's to you This one's for you
He didn't even get to the last verse before he had lulled me into a deep, sound sleep with his soft singing and vibrations of his chest.
