Lyrics
When I see you look at me
The image you reflect is the man I'd like to be
I could spend forever here warm and safe
But we both know that I must leave today
Sleep and dream about me
Holding you tight, never far from sight
And if you need help finding peace
On those sleepless nights you can close your eyes to this lullaby
When the sun hits your face
No other creature can claim as much grace
There is so much more love that I need to show
But that doesn't change the fact that I have got to go
But you can sleep and dream about me
Holding you tight, never far from sight
And if you need help finding peace
On those sleepless nights you can close your eyes to this lullaby
