I don't say I love you quite enough I know Sometimes I go for days I'm ashamed to say The world moves so fast The words come so slow And I let those excuses get in my way
But while you sleep Sometimes I lie awake and watch you breathe And in the silence that surrounds the dead of night I bare my soul and all the words sound right I pray the lord our hearts to keep While you sleep
The days march through our lives like a soft parade Our laughter and tears Our hopes and fears And I keep remembering things I forget to say And perhaps some day I'll let you know my dear
But while you sleep Sometimes I lie awake and watch you breathe And in the silence that surrounds the dead of night I bare my soul and all the words sound right I pray the lord our hearts to keep While you sleep I pray the lord our hearts to keep While you sleep
