I will stay awake for you. And as you sleep my prying eyes Will keep the silence and the stillness. And when you wake I will take your hand in mine, We will walk and you will lead. And, oh, I have seen your chest rise Again yet again and, oh, I have seen Your subtle movements before. But there is one who now knows you better than I, We had such a short time together I will not be able to forget and still, I will stay awake for you.
