Steve Stipp - Softly Sleeping lyrics

Sleep, my dear Don't let my loving gaze disturb your dreams Because they're yours Slumber on, and if my heart could ever fly Then you could make it soar When you sleep, your strength is washed away The strength that lets my soul rely on you And all that's left, is the innocence and peace That make me so in love with you And oh, when you lay there softly sleeping And I'm so close beside you Oh, I don't know how I'd ever leave you Or live my life alone When tonight I see you... ... asleep, my dear The world and all its troubles far away, and not a sound Please don't wake That your peaceful inspiration might not end Or touch the ground Sell my soul, but don't let this moment pa** For it won't be the same tomorrow For I must leave, and all the love I feel for you tonight Must hide the sorrow And oh, when you lay there softly sleeping And I'm so close beside you Oh, I don't know how I'd ever leave you Or live my life alone When tonight, I love you... (instrumental) So girl, dream on Never knowing that I knelt down by your side One last time And kissed your cheek So lightly that it almost wasn't there My only crime
