Sleeping Beauty

"Sleeping Beauty"

As we lay here together
You look into my eyes
I run my fingers through your hair
Feeling like I've won the ultimate prize
There is no one quite like you, I swear

And then I see your eyes begin to droop
You pass in to a deep slumber in my arms
I can't help but but think you're such a cutie
I'll protect you from all that's out to harm you
My sleeping beauty

I smile at your form huddled in my arms
Always thinking you're to good to be true
I watch as you breath so deep
I cherish every moment that I'm with you
Even as you lay asleep

I know you can't hear my words
As you wallow around in dream land
Yet I whisper the thoughts from my heart
I brush a dark strand behind your ear
As you awaken with a start

I know you didn't mean to fall asleep
But it doesn't bother me one bit
Your bright eyes shining like angelic jewels
You begin to throw a fit
But your pseudo-anger begins to cool
As you realize, when you look into my eyes
And I can see you feel it too
I let you sleep, my sleeping beauty
Because I'm so in with love you
