Felt swaddled like a newborn child,
Slept peacefully in dreamy bliss.
Those were the nights before you smiled.
Can’t sleep without your goodnight kiss.

My pillow perfect for my head,
Could fall asleep so easily.
Now roll back and forth ‘cross my bed,
Can’t sleep without you next to me.

My empty bed would hold my dreams,
My silent slumber had no fear.
But you, my love, are real it seems,
I lie awake if you’re not here.

Could close my eyes just ‘ere the dawn,
And feel refreshed throughout the day.
But dusk to sunrise with you gone,
Restless longing won’t go away.

I used to sleep below the sun,
Despite the light down from above.
Though darkness needs another one,
I’ve traded sleep for all your love.
