I often lie awake at night
And think of only you
I reach up and turn out the light
I don't know what to do

I close my eyes and there you are
You're in my every thought
I drift asleep, you're in my dreams
More often times than not

I dream about the night we met
The night you stole my heart
Your loving eyes and soft caress
The way I loved you from the start

I need to have you near to me
To gently hold my hand
To love me as I love you so
And guide me through this strange new land

I want to love you endlessly
To always be there by your side
To help you through your troubled times
To know the way you feel inside

I want to say I love you so
But there's just not a way
There's no time to say it all
Nor words to express how I feel today

I never thought I'd feel this way
Nor know a love this true
But here I lie awake right now
Thinking how much I love you
