I don't say i love you quite enough i know
sometimes i go for days
i'm ashamed to say
the world moves so fast
the words come so slow
and i let those excuses get in my way
(chorus)
but while you sleep
sometimes i lie awake and watch you breathe
and in the silence that surrounds the dead of night
i bare my soul and all the words sound right
i pray the lord our hearts to keep
while you sleep
The days march through our lives like a soft parade
laughter and the tears
our hopes and fears
and i keep remembering things i forget to say
perhaps some day
i'll let you know my dear
(repeat chorus)
