Beside you...

As I lay down beside you
and hold you close and tight
rest your head upon my shoulder
as you whisper, will be alright

hear your heart beat steadily
while I slowly drift off to sleep
feel you breathing next to me
knowing I have this moment to keep

sleep deeply my sweet darling
let our troubles float away
journey through the land of dreams
until the light of a brand new day
