[Verse 1]
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 and 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
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

[Verse 2]
The days march through our lives like a soft parade
Laughter and the tears, our hopes and fears
I keep remembering things I forget to say
And perhaps some day I'll let you know, my dear

[Chorus]
That while you sleep, sometimes I lie awake and watch you breathe
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
