Shirley Horn I Watch You Sleep song lyrics

Why won't you stay

I need to know your love

is there a way?

to make you show your love belongs to me?

You smile in your sleep

am I the theme of

the joy you dream of?

Or have I made

another sad mistake?

But I watch you wake

I watch you sleep

and wonder where you've gone

Where do your dreams fly?

Am I there?

I breathe your hair

and wonder where you've gone

Though you're beside me,

You're far away

Why don't you stay?

I need to know your love

is there a way?

to make you show your love belongs to me?

You smile in your sleep

am I the theme of

the joy you dream of?

Or have I made

another sad mistake?

But I watch you wake

I watch you sleep
