WHEN I SLEEP

When the dawn turns to dusk,
My world suddenly feels right all over again,
For I know when I close my eyes,
You’ll be there next to me,
I could fall a million times and you would be there to lift me up,
I could cry the sorrows of my life,
And you would comfort me,
I could laugh and you’d be sharing my joy,
I could do all I wanted to do with you and you’ll be there,
And these are the times I treasure so much,
For the world will rejoice again at the break of a new day,
And you have left me, no longer there,
I would awake in tears for in my arms you no longer are,
And till the night comes again, would I see you,
Where the love of my life returns.
