If I wake up early

Just to look at you

As the sun is rising

And the day is new

In the wake of silence

I can hear you breathing

And I’m grateful for my time with you

‍

What a perfect morning

You are sleeping in

Can you feel the sunlight

Move across your skin

I can almost touch you

In the world you’re dreaming

You’re so close and yet so far away

‍

   When this rage of days

   Finally passes over us

   I will still be holding

   This memory of you

‍

Through the open window

There is still a haze

In the hollow distance

Of uncertain days

Will we be together

In the world you’re dreaming

Will the future be a better place

‍

   When this rage of days

   Finally passes over us

   I will still be holding

   This memory of you

‍

Everything you are

And everything you need

Everything you’ve given me

The courage to believe

Everything you love

And everything you fear

Everything you’ve given me

A reason to be here

‍

Will we be together

In the world you’re dreaming

Where the future is a better place

‍

   When this rage of days

   Finally passes over us

   I will still be holding

   This memory of you
