I’d rather be with you as you sleep, than any other while they wake
You take the cake, you’re more beautiful as you sleep,
than any other soul awake, even in your slumber you easily take,
my breath away, you make my day.
I’d rather be with you as you sleep, than any other while they wake

asleep on my shoulder
a nap on my lap
they tell me I’m such a sap
because I don’t care if you sleep.
If you don’t make a peep
Just sit there and sleep

I’d rather be with you as you sleep, than any other while they wake
You take the cake, you’re more beautiful as you sleep,
than any other soul awake, even in your slumber you easily take,
my breath away, you make my day.
I’d rather be with you as you sleep, than any other while they wake

in that moment you’re safe in my arms
in that moment safe from any harm
that’s enough for me, I don’t have to see,
your eyes, as gorgeous as they are. or hear,
your voice, its comfort dear to hear.
I can simply gaze, though often in a daze
just simply gaze upon your sleeping self
like a porcelain doll upon a shelf

I’d rather be with you as you sleep, than any other while they wake
You take the cake, you’re more beautiful as you sleep,
than any other soul awake, even in your slumber you easily take,
my breath away, you make my day.
I’d rather be with you as you sleep, than any other while they wake

Just feel you next to me, breathing so softly
as you make it hard for me, to think clearly.
I can’t get over it. I know I can’t be worth it.
Worthy of this beauty next to me
worthy of this angel against me
you sleeping so soundly, me knowing profoundly
That nothing, will ever be better.
That never, will I be more content.
Forever, happy to this extent

I’d rather be with you as you sleep, than any other while they wake
You take the cake, you’re more beautiful as you sleep,
than any other soul awake, even in your slumber you easily take,
my breath away, you make my day.
I’d rather be with you as you sleep, than any other while they wake
