I’m sitting here on the floor watching you sleep
as you snore away in the night
Sometimes I just lay and listen to you breathe
as I hold you agaisnt me real tight
It’s not that I’m worried about you
I just like to hear you breathe
On good days it helps put me to sleep
on bad days it soothes me
You look so comfortable in our bed
as if it’s where you belong
and on some nights I like to lay on your chest
as your heartbeat plays the perfect song
You look so happy in your sleep
makes me wonder what your dreaming
Sometimes I get jealous of you
because I’m wide awake and your sleeping
I can watch you sleep forever
I can sit for hours and stroke your hair
I can be up for hours just holding you
I could be exhausted but I wouldn’t care
I don’t mind watching you for hours
it’s good to see you at peace
Your breathing is what keeps me entertained
on sleepless nights like these
