"Awake"

When we go to bed sometimes I lay awake
Thinking of the things in my life for love's sake
Looking at you makes me really wonder
How much of this life is but a dream, I hate to ponder

I pinch myself from time to time to see if I'm awake
Realizing what I have and what is at stake
To lose you would shatter me forever
For I wish we can go through life together

Stirring beside me stealing all the cover
Afraid I'll wake up alone one day and discover
That your love for me is forever gone
I wish if this life is just a dream, it would go on

Kissing your cheek needing you by my side
I thank God for letting your love with me reside
Closing my eyes with a smile on my face
Together this dream in the light of day we will face
