I Know That You’re Asleep, But
I know that you’re asleep,
But I just wanted to say;
That I simply cannot stand it,
That you are so far away.
I know that you’re asleep,
But I just want you to know;
That every moment we’re apart,
Is a time I miss you so.
I know that you’re asleep,
But I just want you to hear;
That you’re the one I long for,
Any time that you aren’t near.
I know that you’re asleep,
But I just wanted to share;
That even when life’s difficult,
You’re still always right there.
I know that you’re asleep.
And I wish that I was too.
I know that you’re asleep
But I’m not, and I miss you.
