I often lie awake at night
I'm lost without you here
I close my eyes and drift asleep
In dreams, you're always near

I dream about the night we met
The night you stole my heart
The sweetness of your lips
The way I loved you from the start

I need to have you next to me
To feel your warm caress
To look into your eyes
To feel your love and tenderness

I want to love you endlessly
To be there by your side
To pick you up when you fall down
To dry your tear-stained eyes

I want to say I love you so
But words cannot express
The way I feel when you're around
The love that I possess

I never thought I'd love this way
Nor know a love this true
I lie awake most every night
And think of only you
