Before I Sleep
Tucked in my bed, ready for sleep,
I stare towards the nighttime sky,
Thinking of snowflakes, and puppies,
and friends, of times bittersweet gone by.
As I fall asleep in a comfortable daze,
I look towards the sky to see,
Two stars adrift out in the night,
Staring down at me.
One is you, the other me,
Two stars above in the sky,
My star is hoping, shining bright,
Your star comes shooting by.
Alone I sit here in the dark,
Dreaming that one fine day,
Your heart remembers the love we had,
And finds to me its way.
You're the refreshing breeze that blows,
On summer's blistering days,
You're the cool ocean tide that flows,
Spreading peace in calming waves.
You're the wind that carries melodies,
To those who've never heard song,
You're the spirit that lifts burdens from the weary,
Telling them, "there's hope, so hang on!"
When I think of home, I think of you,
As I close my eyes so tight,
I dream your arms embrace me true,
With love more powerful than might.
These are my wishes, my hopes, my dreams,
As the sun sets night by night,
I can only hope that you will see,
It's my twinkling star shining so bright.
Just knowing you are out there,
Underneath this great big sky,
Blessed to have passed you in the night,
My love for you won't die.
