As my eyes drift to sleep I remember
the hollows and the soft curves of your skin
fire in your eyes a burning ember
a glow that reflects radiance within
As my eyes drift to sleep I do recall
your soft words whispered in the dead of night
that saved me when perchance I looked to fall
and turned my eyes instead into your light
As my eyes drift to sleep I see your face
and yet I know you are not really there
instead untouchable another place
far in the realm of nothing and nowhere
Through this my heart and mind still yearns for you
a million words my love that I withdrew

As my eyes drift to sleep I remember
the hollows and the soft curves of your skin
fire in your eyes a burning ember
a glow that reflects radiance within
As my eyes drift to sleep I do recall
your soft words whispered in the dead of night
that saved me when perchance I looked to fall
and turned my eyes instead into your light
As my eyes drift to sleep I see your face
and yet I know you are not really there
instead untouchable another place
far in the realm of nothing and nowhere
Through this my heart and mind still yearns for you
a million words my love that I withdrew
