It sounds like
you're whispering
and singing ever so softly
and you hold me tight
in the bed we bought
the only thing we've got
is this moment

and it's all we need and you
brush the hair from my cheek and I
turn to look into your green eyes and you
smile, that smile saved for me and I
wake up.

And there's so much I want to tell you
about my dreams and hopes and aches and
I want to let you in on all my secrets
on all my thoughts and feelings
and it seems like I'm burning for you,
but nothing you say can put me out.

And I want that bed to be all we've got and I
want to be all that you need
but my words mean nothing to
someone who can't hear them and you're
still asleep so I
just smile and tuck you in and I
leave a light on and
two aspirin for you and then I
wake up.
