Sleep Song

I’ve always wanted to turn in my bed
And watch someone I love sleep.

I’ve always yearned to see
The seraphic look on my lover’s face.

I’ve often wondered what someone else dreams about
During that big pocket of night.

Do they dream of utopia?
Of flying with the angels?
Or running with the gazelles?

Is it swimming in an azure sea
Or scaling the walls of ecstasy
That holds my partner’s sway
As she whiles the night away?

The sweetest dreams are the best ones
With Cupids and Minotaurs and Gods.
The greatest unconscious smiles
Creased against incredible odds.

Whatever dreams may come
To my lover from above,

When I can’t sleep and I can watch,
I’ve never been so in love.
