Early in the morning
as the sun begins to rise
I’m still awake, talking to you
Do you think of me while I am sleeping?

I’ve always thought this type of thing
would happen to anyone but me

“I’ll hold you tight”
“I’d protect you”
These words, they linger
Do you think of me while you are sleeping?

I’ve always thought this type of thing
would be nothing but a dream

You brushed away my tears,
You shine your light at my fears
Though we’ve never met
you know me better than I know myself
so what is it that is so special
about me that makes you want to hold my hand

Early in the evening
as the sun begins to set
I sit awake, thinking of you
Whilst you are sleeping

I’ve often thought of love
as meaningless

“Don’t cry”
“I’ll be there soon”
These words, I always wanted to hear
I read them over while you sleep

I’ve often thought of love
as something I’d never feel

You showed me how to smile
you taught me to be happy
Though we’ve never met
you know my secrets
What is it that is so special
about you that makes me want to hold your hand

I should think of you as proof
that I can live without losing sight of what’s most important

Darling, I wonder if I’ll ever be able to meet you
and if I can’t,
forever and always, I won’t forget
