Two souls intertwined
Twisted around each other
You hope that you’ll be mine
Forever perfect lovers
My poetry sings you to sleep
As I rock to the rhythm of your heartbeat
Is this real?
Half awake
If I stay
Will you take my heart
Don’t lie to me as you try to sleep
Just cry if you need to
Let go of your deep entangled wires that no one understands
Except the soul who holds your hand
Your quiet exit takes me to tears
For once to hear your voice from so near
The world becomes a dream
I hide my eyes
And we fall into night
Never been so alive
Is this real?
Half awake
If I stay
Will you take my heart
Goodnight, my stars
The music of my love
Goodbye to the show
Off to rest after forgetting the words
Goodnight to the serenading song
I will only dream of
Goodnight my secret love
My every light
My mirror
Is this real?
Half awake
If you stay
Would you play your part?
Is this real?
Half awake
If I gave my song
My song away
You are all I need
Every day
If my gaze was worth the wait
Then I’ll be here in the morning
In the morning
And we will still be singing
Goodnight
