[Verse 1]
When I wake from dreaming
In the middle of the night
You're asleep and yet you say
In your own sweet silent way
Oh, that everything's alright

[Verse 2]
And your hair is lying
'Cross the pillow by my head
You're unconscious to the night
You can't talk but that's alright
Let your breathing speak instead

[Chorus]
I hear you breathing in
You breathe out on my skin
That's when I begin
To know you're near to me
And I don't turn on the light
I don't need to use my eyes
The heartbeat by my side
Tells me you're here with me

[Verse 3]
My senses can deceive me
When I'm sleepy and confused
From my heavy eyes I see
Only darkness around me
My dreams long since excused
[Verse 4]
Then my thoughts go racing
Through the cloisters of my brain
In those midnight hours I find
That you hypnotise my mind
With your soothing pulse again

[Chorus]
I hear you breathing in
You breathe out on my skin
That's when I begin
To know you're near to me
And I don't turn on the light
I don't need to use my eyes
The heartbeat by my side
Tells me you're here with me

[Chorus]
I hear you breathing in
Oh, you breathe out on my skin
Mhmm, that's when I begin
To know you're near to me
No, I don't turn on the light
I don't need to use my eyes
The heartbeat by my side
Tells me you're here with me
